Introduction
My name is Susan Carlson, and I am a licensed early childhood educator with over fifteen years of experience caring for and teaching children. My students call me Ms. Susan.
Over the years I have learned that different types of toys promote learning in different areas. On this site I provide information to guide parents and other caregivers on the selection of high-quality toys that are both educational and fun!
Play is Important!
As an early childhood educator, I want to emphasize the importance of play for healthy child growth and development. The wonderful part about this is that kids naturally like to play!
