At Active Kids Group, we are passionate about fostering a love for reading among our children. This year, we are excited to celebrate Children’s Book Week from Saturday, 17 August to Friday, 23 August with the enchanting theme, “Reading is Magic.” Our Sydney daycare centres are gearing up for a week filled with special activities, including visits from renowned children’s book authors and a delightful book week parade where our little learners will dress up as their favourite characters.
The Magic of Reading
“Reading is Magic” captures the essence of how stories can transport us to new worlds, spark our imagination, and inspire curiosity. At Active Kids Group, we believe in encouraging our children to explore the wonders of the world through books. Reading not only entertains but also connects readers, sparking conversations and building a sense of community. Our amazing writers and illustrators work their magic, using language and illustrations to create captivating stories that engage and delight young minds.
