The importance of early learning and early literacy skills is difficult to overstate. The first few years of a child’s life are critical for their long-term development and success in later learning. Children do an enormous amount of learning before they start school, starting from the moment they are born. Unlike older kids who are focused on reading and classroom learning, babies and toddlers learn by exploring their world. They need things to see, hear, taste, smell, touch and yes, even chew. The Library’s Early Literacy Playspace is a place where this sort of learning is encouraged\u00a0and celebrated.<\/p>\n
