    SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Savvy Source for Parents
 (http://www.savvysource.com), in partnership with Core Knowledge, a
 nationally renowned education non-profit, launched a free, online Learning
 Guide today to give parents a relatively simple process for identifying the
 best books, toys and activities to meet their child's developmental
 strengths and needs. All parents of toddlers and preschoolers have to do is
 answer a simple set of questions about their child's development and then
 Savvy Source provides parents with a customized set of recommendations of
 the very best educational books, toys and activities to engage a child's
 imagination and development at this particular moment of their growth. The
 free program was launched around the holidays so that parents can share the
 recommended gift list with family and friends.
 
     "With the Holidays approaching, many parents of toddlers and
 preschoolers are interested in buying their children toys that inspire
 wonder and meet their child where they are developmentally." said Stacey
 Boyd, CEO and Founder of Savvy Source for Parents. "Our free tool gives
 parents a quick analysis of their child's developmental needs and offers a
 customized set of educational gift ideas drawn from award winning toy
 providers such as Oppenheim Toy Portfolio and Dr. Toy as well as
 recommendations from the nation's leading preschool directors. This holiday
 season, parents can create a rich learning environment at home and set the
 tone for the New Year ahead, while involving friends and family in the
 process."
 
     The Savvy Source Learning Guide questionnaire asks parents to answer a
 simple set of questions concerning a two to six year old child's
 development, such as how their child makes friends, the level of their
 early literacy skills, and their movement and coordination abilities. Based
 on answers to these questions, the Savvy Source provides a customized set
 of recommendations of the very best educational books, toys and activities
 to engage a child's imagination and development at this particular moment
 of their growth.
 
     Recommendations in The Savvy Source's Learning Guide, based on a
 child's unique developmental needs, are drawn from toys that have won
 awards from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio; Dr. Toy and Parent's Choice; Books
 and toys recommended by Directors at some of the most highly regarded
 preschools in the country; Preschool Sequence-designed activities; the
 parent-generated Savvy Activities Encyclopedia; and Savvy Picks from the
 Savvy Source Book and Toy Editors.
 
     In addition to having access to hundreds of free activities tailored to
 their child's developmental needs, parents can turn the book and toy
 recommendations into a Learning Registry to be shared with grandparents,
 aunts, uncles and friends as they are doing holiday shopping, so that gift
 giving is uniquely tailored to a child's age, interests and personality.
 The Savvy Source launched the tool to provide parents with a tool to help
 them create a rich learning environment at home for their child's future
 development as well as hours of inspiring play.
