WHY JOYFUL LEARNING?
Stories make a big impact
Children learn easily through storytelling as stories are fun and easy to remember.
It helps them develop and organise their thoughts by making a connection between what they experience in books and the world around them.
By engaging children with stories, we can teach them to enjoy reading and learn happily from a young age.
WHO WE IMPACT
Focusing on the formative years
Designed for children between 3 - 6 years old, Joyful Learning aims to help them find enjoyment and wonder in reading books when it matters most.
Aside from these children, their parents and caregivers are also equipped with practical tips to help bring their learnings home.
