Jump Start Your Child's Summer Reading!

Hello Clients, Families and Friends!

Summer is almost here, and that means it’s time to revisit those activities that will keep our young ones occupied indoors and outdoors!

Summer Reading Lists are great fun to begin at any age. New books can keep your children entertained during picnics at the park, trips to the beach, and long car rides. We all know that reading is both educational and exciting for children, but how do you go about finding the right books for you and your family?

This month, our nanny boutique research team has decided to share some of our favorite titles with you by creating a Summer Reading List for Children of All Ages. We’ve done our research and have hand-selected 10 Books to help your family get started. Whether it’s a visit to the library or to your local bookstore, we hope you and your family will consider checking out a few of the books listed below. Happy Reading!
