Kids & Company, a top Canadian childcare provider, has released its holiday toy guide for 2025. This guide helps parents choose gifts that support a child’s learning and development, not just provide fun.

The guide was carefully created by the company’s education experts. Kristine Grant, the Vice President of Centre Operations, and her team selected every toy. This team oversees the education of nearly ten thousand young children across the country in Kids & Company centers.

The company explains that the toys in the guide are real learning tools. They are the same kinds of educational toys used every day in their classrooms to help children grow and learn in a balanced way.

Kristine Grant says the holidays are a great time to continue learning at home. She stated that her team knows exactly how play builds important skills. The 2025 guide gives parents a trusted list of gifts. These gifts help encourage creativity, problem solving, and independence in children, making the gift more meaningful.

The guide is organized by age group to match a child’s developmental stage. For infants up to 18 months old, the toys focus on sensory play and learning about cause and effect. Suggestions include items like soft activity books.

For toddlers, aged around 18 months to two and a half years, the toys encourage pretend play and building social skills. Examples are building toys for spatial awareness and soft dolls for role playing.

For preschool and kindergarten children, up to five years old, the guide highlights toys that build school readiness. These focus on early reading, math, and concentration skills, using items like Montessori inspired play kits.

By sharing this expert knowledge, Kids & Company strengthens its role as a trusted partner for working parents. The guide helps families make smart shopping choices that align with the company’s high quality childcare programs.
