Great things happen when you read with your baby. First, their vocabulary explodes. Books are fantastic for introducing your little one to new and varied language. Second, they begin to associate reading as a pleasurable activity. Not only is it fun, but it’s something

In the early years, block play isn't just fun, it's key for developing spatial and maths skills! Active play is just as important. Get children moving to support their vestibular system and combat sedentary lifestyles. #play #earlychildhoodeducation #BeingMe
