Listen and Watch

Free resources for educators and families, created by Yolanda

A music-based children's podcast in Spanish created for Fundación E. León Jimenes in the Dominican Republic. Each episode invites children to listen, play, sing, and dance — and includes a segment on how young children can care for the environment. Yolanda designed the program and created its first 52 episodes.

NYPL logo.jpg

A series of fun Spanish story time videos created for the New York Public Library during the pandemic, when libraries had to close their doors.

 

Combining picture books, songs, and rhymes, the series brought story time home to families with young children across New York and beyond.
