VTech’s Acclaimed Baby, Infant and Preschool Lines Grow with New Expert-Endorsed Innovations (只提供英文版)

New Products Help Children Reach Developmental Milestones

ChicagoVTech's award-winning age and stage-based toys for early childhood development consistently earn top praise from consumers and experts for helping children meet developmental milestones. Today the company announces the expansion of its Baby, Infant and Preschool lines with new introductions designed to encourage growth and enrich children's play experiences, bringing the extensive, growing collection to include more than 100 innovative learning products. New educator-approved products available now include the Sit-to-Stand Ultimate Alphabet Train™, an engrossing ride-on toy that grows with a child and teaches letters, colors, numbers and more; the Lil' Critters Soothing Starlight Hippo™, a plush critter that lulls babies to sleep with calming music and enhances visual awareness with a projection feature and the Write & Learn Creative Center™, an interactive tool for preschoolers that inspires creativity while boosting learning and drawing skills. Additionally, VTech has continued the growth of its online Milestones resource, specifically created to help parents select toys based on the individual needs of children from birth to nine years old.

"We are constantly striving to develop toys that reinforce our position as an industry leader of early childhood learning products and these new innovations embody that commitment," said William To, President of VTech Electronics North America. "Our Baby, Infant and Preschool lines further enhance the first-rate, educational products that parents can trust and consumers have come to expect from VTech when choosing toys for every stage of development."

VTech's Expert Panel provides critical insight into the development of its learning products. These experts specialize not only in the critical subject areas that are important for instilling a lifetime love of learning such as reading, language arts, math and science, but the broader spectrum of childhood development.

Since each child grows at a different pace mentally, emotionally and physically, and has different needs as they grow through various life stages, insight from these developmental and education experts allows VTech to provide parents with guidelines and recommendations to help them make informed choices. VTech's Milestones resource is compiled of an expansive recommendation of toys that are appropriate for a child's particular age and stage and to accompany them as they continue to grow and reach new developmental milestones. The expert-endorsed recommendations were developed in collaboration with Dr. Lise Eliot, early brain development expert and member of VTech's Expert Panel.

"VTech's products assist children during the crucial years of infancy and preschool, when they are developing new motor, cognitive, language and social skills," said Dr. Lise Eliot, Early Brain Development Expert and VTech Expert Panel Member. "These toys provide multi-sensory experiences to truly engage children and cultivate a love of learning at a very young age while delivering the developmental benefits appropriate for each child's age and stage."

VTech has worked closely with Dr. Eliot for five years to ensure that all Baby, Infant and Preschool products deliver against at least one, if not all, of the following categories that are essential for the development of young children: language and cognitive development, social and emotional development, and physical and motor development.
