On this #InternationalDayOfPlay, we celebrate the joy, imagination, and learning that play brings into a child’s life. Our Toy Library & dedicated Play Curriculum ensure that children not only read, but also explore, build, create, and grow. Because play is not a break from learning, it is learning.
