Dear Parents and Caregivers

We are thrilled to invite you and your children to take part in selecting and voting for new educational play materials that will enhance their social-emotional learning and support their readiness for school. Yes, the kids get to vote too! Play is a vital component of a child's development, fostering creativity, imagination, and the growth of essential life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and emotional regulation. This effort is a key part of expanding our library's Wee Play Initiative, which is dedicated to equipping young learners with the tools they need to thrive.

Your input, alongside your children's, is crucial in helping us choose resources that best meet their needs. By participating in this process, you are playing a direct role in shaping the materials that will nurture your child's ability to connect with others, manage emotions, and succeed in a school environment.

Thank you for being an essential part of this important decision!

-Your SJPL Early Education Team
