The preschool years are a magical time. One minute your living room is a quiet space, and the next, it has transformed into a construction site, a dinosaur park, or a detective agency. Between the ages of 3 and 5, your child’s imagination explodes. They aren't just playing; they are rehearsing for life. They are learning how to solve problems, how to be a good friend, and how the world works.
Reading with your baby or toddler isn't just about the story; it's about connection. It's those quiet moments of cuddling that build a foundation for lifelong learning. For our littlest readers (ages 0-2), books are a gateway to understanding emotions, developing language, and even strengthening those tiny finger muscles.
