"Infants and toddlers learn through their senses. At Carousel, we don’t simply read a book -- we bring it to life. With props, visuals, songs, gestures, and guided play, children see, listen, and touch every new word. They are not just listeners, they are participants."
- Danchen Zhao, Director of Curriculum Design and Instruction, Carousel of Languages
