"Parents and caregivers are often looking for ways to inspire and encourage their child to learn and with the new LeapFrog Learning Path, they now have access to tools that meet their child's needs," said Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, manager of LeapFrog's Learning Team. "Because we know that every child is unique, we created the Learning Path to be a parent's or caregiver's go-to resource for learning ideas tailored to their child's age and learning stage. It also offers community features including direct access to our learning team, and the ability to track a child's progress as he or she engages in learning games with LeapFrog-connected products, helping them guide their child to the next learning level."
The new LeapFrog Learning Path provides a unique set of features that parents will use to help their child reach his or her potential:
Personalized learning ideas to help a child grow. Learning Path gives parents access to hundreds of activities, learning tips, videos, printables and more, developed by LeapFrog's full-time in-house team of learning experts, that are tailored to their child's learning stage. Updated with new ideas each week, Learning Path provides personalized weekly guidance to help prepare children for key milestones, from saying their first words to getting ready for kindergarten.
Share and discuss hot topics with other parents. Parents can join conversations with other parents, ask and answer questions, and get direct advice from teachers and LeapFrog's team of learning experts. They can also share photos and achievements to celebrate their child's progress.
Track progress and follow a child's developing skills. As their child plays with a LeapFrog-connected product including LeapFrog's learning library of more than 1,000 games, apps, books, eBooks, videos, music and more on the award-winning LeapPad™ tablets and LeapReader™ reading and writing system, parents will receive weekly updates on their child's progress. This allows parents to share in their child's success and identify and get additional support in areas where a child may need extra practice.
"LeapFrog's legacy of innovation continues with the new LeapFrog Learning Path," said Laurie Schacht, toy insider mom and chief toy officer at The Toy Insider. "This new resource is perfect for busy families who want to help their children get the best start on life. New parent resources like the Learning Path reinforce LeapFrog's mission to help all children achieve their potential."
