- The Free Program Provides Parents With Recommendations for the Best
Educational Toys to Help Create a Rich Learning Environment at Home;
Program is Launched Around the Holidays so That Parents Can Share
Educational Gift Ideas With Family and Friends -
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Savvy Source for Parents
(http://www.savvysource.com), in partnership with Core Knowledge, a
nationally renowned education non-profit, launched a free, online Learning
Guide today to give parents a relatively simple process for identifying the
best books, toys and activities to meet their child's developmental
strengths and needs. All parents of toddlers and preschoolers have to do is
answer a simple set of questions about their child's development and then
Savvy Source provides parents with a customized set of recommendations of
the very best educational books, toys and activities to engage a child's
imagination and development at this particular moment of their growth. The
free program was launched around the holidays so that parents can share the
recommended gift list with family and friends.
"With the Holidays approaching, many parents of toddlers and
preschoolers are interested in buying their children toys that inspire
wonder and meet their child where they are developmentally." said Stacey
Boyd, CEO and Founder of Savvy Source for Parents. "Our free tool gives
parents a quick analysis of their child's developmental needs and offers a
customized set of educational gift ideas drawn from award winning toy
providers such as Oppenheim Toy Portfolio and Dr. Toy as well as
recommendations from the nation's leading preschool directors. This holiday
season, parents can create a rich learning environment at home and set the
tone for the New Year ahead, while involving friends and family in the
process."
The Savvy Source Learning Guide questionnaire asks parents to answer a
simple set of questions concerning a two to six year old child's
development, such as how their child makes friends, the level of their
early literacy skills, and their movement and coordination abilities. Based
on answers to these questions, the Savvy Source provides a customized set
of recommendations of the very best educational books, toys and activities
to engage a child's imagination and development at this particular moment
of their growth.
Recommendations in The Savvy Source's Learning Guide, based on a
child's unique developmental needs, are drawn from toys that have won
awards from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio; Dr. Toy and Parent's Choice; Books
and toys recommended by Directors at some of the most highly regarded
preschools in the country; Preschool Sequence-designed activities; the
parent-generated Savvy Activities Encyclopedia; and Savvy Picks from the
Savvy Source Book and Toy Editors.
In addition to having access to hundreds of free activities tailored to
their child's developmental needs, parents can turn the book and toy
recommendations into a Learning Registry to be shared with grandparents,
aunts, uncles and friends as they are doing holiday shopping, so that gift
giving is uniquely tailored to a child's age, interests and personality.
The Savvy Source launched the tool to provide parents with a tool to help
them create a rich learning environment at home for their child's future
development as well as hours of inspiring play.
