Welcome! I'm so happy you're here!

Someone gave me Dr. Staso’s books before I had my first baby, and it changed everything for me as a parent. I felt truly connected to my baby and what was going on with his development. I discovered what he needed at each stage and learned specific things I could do to help.

I’ve been nerding out on key child development research including Dr. Staso’s books for years. I’m so grateful for his insightful findings because they helped inspire our philosophy and products—along with the best research in neuroscience, pediatric occupational therapy, and speech and language pathology. Children can play to learn, and become their best selves, with the right stage-based playthings and activities.

I’m excited to share Dr. Staso’s books with you. While some of the language in these books may feel a little dated, the child development information is not. We’ve carefully cross-checked the books with multiple experts, and they all agree that Dr. Staso’s advice is grounded in the right fundamentals to promote healthy brain development.I hope you find them as interesting and helpful as I did.

Happy reading,

Jess
