This book is the key for parents who want to give their child the best start in life.

Margaret Sassé is the creator of Toddler Kindy GymbaROO, the international early childhood development and learning academy for babies aged 1 month to 5 years old. Margaret has always understood that the first five years of a child’s life are incredibly important; these are the years when the foundations for all later development are laid. Every week over 10,000 children and their parents attend the GymbaROO and KindyROO centres around Australia. Using cutting-edge scientific research from the neurological science field to inform the curriculum, GymbaROO and KindyROO have developed an incredible following; the company now has centres in 15 countries around the world.
Now parents can get the complete GymbaROO child development program for home use with the launch of the new book, Smart Start. It’s so easy, even Dads can do it – and in just ten minutes a day! There is a direct relationship between the physical stimulation children receive when they are babies and their ability to do well at school. This is supported and borne out by extensive research. It has been shown that children's neurophysiological development is vital for their ability to read and learn, and Smart Start provides a fun-filled platform for parents and carers to gain greater knowledge of what this entails in order to maximise their child’s development.
Using the detailed illustrations in Smart Start you can work with your child to stimulate their neurological responses, increase coordination and enhance their capacity for learning when they reach a school age. The book is carefully organised to provide a step-by-step programme for each year of an infant’s life.
Simply written and attractively presented with lively illustrations and practical exercises, Smart Start will soon become an indispensable tool for all parents.
All it takes is ten minutes a day!
