The first years of a young child’s life are beautiful, bright, and filled with stories and adventures. They are also a time for great leaps and bounds in learning about the world around them, from shapes and colours to numbers and basic motor skills.
Parents, teachers, guardians and other people in young lives are vital during this time, and pre-school and day-care books are fantastic tools for these early life lessons.
Preparing for pre-school
During pre-school, kids will start their early education with the basics of counting, identifying shapes, animals, and colours, and other foundational skills.
In preparation for pre-school, parents and caregivers can introduce bright young ones to these concepts early. Titles such as Wipe-Clean Get Ready for School ABC and 123 can be an excellent hands-on tool to help kids learn these basics, with wipe-off shiny pages to help them try again and again.
Another great option is Are You Ready for Kindergarten?, which includes an array of basics such as colouring, verbal skills, pasting skills and more.
Whatever level your little one, there are great early education books to help introduce them to the fun and adventure of learning.
Keeping busy with day care books
Sending a child to day care can be tough after spending their first years at home together. Day care books can be a wonderful way of bridging that gap, helping little ones to enjoy their time in day care with something familiar from home.
Titles such as My Big Book of Mazes can challenge your little one with a great collection of puzzles that keep them busy and helps to develop pencil skills while they play.
My First Book of Cutting is another excellent option, which is suitable for kids ages three to five and begins with easy shapes and gradually works up to more challenging cut-outs to help with motor skill progression.
With our huge range of day care books, there will always be something exciting and educational for them to discover next.
