DHA's Imagination Library team recently spent a morning at Genesis Daycare Center in Durant reading "The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear!" After story time, students learned how strawberries grow and the conditions they need to thrive. The Imagination Library mails books to children enrolled in the program each month from birth to age five and partners with local child care providers to offer early educational activities to children.
Research shows that 90% of a child's brain develops by the time they’re five years old. Through programs like the Imagination Library, DHA improves access to books in children's homes and opportunities for families to make the most of the critical early years of their children's development.
