INSPIRED BY MONTESSORI

“Play is the work of the child” – Maria Montessori

The most important years in a child’s life is between 0 to 5 years of age. A child learns more between those years than any other years of a child’s entire life. Toys play a major role in a child’s development.

Montessori is a form of education that encourages learning through nature. As newborns, children start using specially designed wooden toys that allow them to learn important developmental skills on their own, with only guidance when needed.

Montessori toys help children to focus on mastering one skill at a time by minimizing unnecessary distractions.

Our Toy Library has a large variety of Montessori inspired high quality age appropriate wooden toys.

“Children are made readers in the laps of their parents” – Emilie Buchwald

Reading aloud to children every day, especially from when they are born, helps build key language, literacy, social and communication skills. The more we read aloud to our children, the larger their vocabularies will grow. Reading also creates a special bond between parents and children.

When it comes to reading a book to your little one, repetition helps them make sense of what they are hearing and it helps them remember new words.

Our Toy Library has a large variety of high quality age appropriate children’s books including books on the topic of sustainability.
