Helping your children navigate through the challenges of early childhood as they are being introduced to the world is filled with excitement! And spending time with a loving adult provides exceptional benefits. The simple act of reading aloud together helps create a lasting emotional connection, stimulates a child’s cognitive development, and lays the groundwork for a lifelong love of reading and learning. At a time when youngsters are most in need of one-on-one engagement with a loved one, we want to encourage and grow those opportunities. We’re here for you so you can be there for them. Below you will find a list of our favorite resources to add to your activities at home.
