Many Filipinos take great stock in education, seeing it as one of the avenues to build a better life for one’s self in the future. But setting the foundation for learning starts even before the schooling age, making it key to inculcate the habit as early as possible.
This makes books the perfect gift for an inquisitive child as it sates their appetite for new information while teaching them the joys of reading.
Early learning is crucial, with research showing that the scaffolding for complex learning is established during childhood and reinforced as kids grow. Remarkably, up to 90 percent of a child’s brain growth occurs before they turn five, making early childhood education an essential stepping stone for building knowledge in the years to come.
Thankfully, there is a wide array of books available, featuring over a hundred exciting titles from the country’s leading educational publisher, Rex Education, within its acclaimed Little Explorers series.
Launched in December 2022, the Little Explorers lineup is Rex Education’s dedicated brand of early childhood education resources tailor-made for young learners. Each title is designed to be age-appropriate and aligned with the six developmental domains established by the Early Childhood Care and Development Council from its National Early Learning Framework.
“As a lifelong learning partner to every Filipino, Rex Education has always believed that investing in early childhood education (ECE) and the foundational development of our children is essential to prepare them for life,” said Don Timothy Buhain, Chief Executive Officer of Rex Education. “With the introduction of our new brand, we aim to spark discussions on the significance of early childhood care and development (ECCD) in the Philippines and empower parents and learning companions with quality, research-based, and age-appropriate learning solutions to kick-start their children’s education even before formal schooling begins.”
Titles such as Meet My Family, World Around Me, and Me, Myself, and I nurture children’s critical thinking while engaging their cognitive and social-emotional development. They also encourage kids to articulate their feelings and enhance their self-awareness through enjoyable, interactive methods.
