We feel lucky that our kids can grow up going to the J, too.

“Shelby talks about her teachers and friends, listing them by name all the time. When we drop her off she doesn’t look back. When we pick her up she is happy.

“JD is learning about recycling in school and is now recycling everything in sight at home! He loves his afternoon activities, too. He tells us about his experiments in Mad Scientists and is excited that he has a personal trainer in Fit Kids!”

The Importance of Reading to Your Child

Reading was always an important part of the nightly ritual in my house when my daughters were young. It started with Emily’s favorite book, Moo, Baa, La La La by Sandra Boynton and progressed to chapter books such as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. Regardless of the book, it was a special time for all of us.

There are many benefits of reading to your kids, including:

1. It’s a special bonding time with your child. Cuddle, talk and share quality time together.

2. Reading improves a child’s vocabulary and language skills. Your child will absorb new words and hear different sentence structures.

3. Books build a child’s imagination. Reading takes children to different places and introduces them to new characters.

4. Reading better prepares your child for academic excellence. Numerous studies show that children exposed to a lot of literature at a young age are more likely to do well in school. Also, reading is a part of all subjects and helps in overall mastery.

5. It’s a great form of entertainment! Reading can keep a child busy and does not take up much space. Also, it can be a great way to calm an active child.
