By embracing a literature-based approach to early childhood education, we empower children to become enthusiastic readers and lifelong learners, setting them on a path to success in school and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the earliest days of infancy, we recognise the positive impact that exposure to books and storytelling can have on a child\u2019s development. By immersing our youngest learners in these captivating stories, we not only lay the foundation for literacy, but also nurture essential language skills that will serve them throughout their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research shows that children who are exposed to books from an early age tend to develop strong pre-reading skills and a deeper understanding of language. Moreover, regular exposure to storytelling can accelerate the development of speech and communication abilities, particularly when parents or caregivers read aloud to them. Through interactive storytelling and engaging visuals, young minds are stimulated, fostering curiosity and creativity while encouraging a deeper exploration of the world around them.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md”][image_with_animation image_url=”13993″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”Selecting books for infants (0-12 months)”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1712916359048{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Choosing the right books for your little one during their first year of life can be challenging.

As you read together with your child, take the opportunity to point out objects within the illustrations, helping to expand their vocabulary and comprehension.<\/span><\/p>\n

This newfound cognitive development presents a golden opportunity to enrich their literary experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this stage, children are beginning to grasp the concept of storytelling and basic conversations. It\u2019s a perfect time to leverage their growing comprehension and vocabulary through books. Choose stories that resonate with their experiences, featuring familiar characters or objects like their favourite animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a good time to expose them to the concept of plots and emotions. Opt for books with short stories that explore these themes, which you can discuss together. You can even draw connections to your child\u2019s experiences after reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look out for books with predictable structures, such as rhyming text and corresponding illustrations, which facilitate engagement and comprehension. Don\u2019t hesitate to pause at the appropriate moments and encourage your child to participate by filling in words or phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, prioritise engagement and interaction. In our infant care programme, we tailor storytelling experiences to keep toddlers enthralled.

Choose stories that resonate with their experiences, featuring familiar characters or objects like their favourite animals.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1712918183515{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]It\u2019s also a good time to expose them to the concept of plots and emotions. Opt for books with short stories that explore these themes, which you can discuss together. You can even draw connections to your child\u2019s experiences after reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look out for books with predictable structures, such as rhyming text and corresponding illustrations, which facilitate engagement and comprehension. Don\u2019t hesitate to pause at the appropriate moments and encourage your child to participate by filling in words or phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, prioritise engagement and interaction. In our infant care programme, we tailor storytelling experiences to keep toddlers enthralled. Whether it\u2019s allowing them extra time on the more interesting pages or encouraging them to act out character actions and emotions, we strive to make reading a dynamic and immersive adventure for every child.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_custom_heading text=”Our book recommendations for toddlers (12-18 months)”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_margin_phone=”30px” bottom_margin_phone=”30px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin_phone=”30px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”image-col” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”1″ font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1712918879534{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_class=”blog-item-header”]\n
