NEW! The Importance of Being Little
Even children can be over-scheduled, overstressed and overwhelmed.
Let’s talk about how we can encourage creativity and raise critical thinkers
through play. Research indicates that children learn best in an environment
that allows them to explore, discover and play. Information from the book
“The Importance of Being Little...What Preschoolers Really Need From
Grownups,” will be used to spark parent discussions.
