Children’s toys and games should be fun, but finding something that’s also educational is a real treat for both kids and parents alike. If you're wondering what the right educational tool for your child is, the folks at KidSource can help you with that.
Started in 2005 by Penny Kunitz and Wanda Liski, KidSource offers the best teaching resources and educational supplies for everyone from infants to high school students. The store’s products are geared towards parents, caregivers and teachers. “Anyone who deals with daycares, preschools, after-school care, or church groups can find supplies like games and puzzles,” notes Penny.
“Then we get a spin off from the daycares and preschools, as the parents of those children come in to the store to buy similar items that their kids are playing with,” adds Wanda. “We also get spinoff from teachers telling parents where to come in to buy learning materials that help get their kids up to speed or help them out if they’re falling behind.”
Instead of visiting the store, busy parents can take advantage of KidSource's online catalogue to browse an even wider selection of products. The shop ships to anywhere in Canada and you can even order online and opt to pick up your items in-store to save on shipping costs.
However, in-store shoppers can benefit from the qualified staff, who are available to help and answer questions about which product best suits your needs. “I love the interaction with the customers,” says Penny. “We are a destination store and most people that come to us are looking for something extra or something to help their children.”
