Bright Bean, Richmond Hill, ON

Research told us our kids would develop better and achieve more if we engaged with them while they played. We also knew we could make the most of that playtime by giving them the right toys at the right stages.
Only we didn’t know what toys or what stages were the right ones. Conventional toy stores didn’t offer much help, and googling only got us so far. We decided the world needed a new kind of toy store. One that gives parents the ability to plan for each developmental milestone and get out in front of every new academic challenge their kids will face. So we started Bright Bean.
At Bright Bean, we’ll walk with you through your child’s development and education from birth to age 12. We’ll show you the right educational toys, games, and books to make playtime count toward those goals.
All children should have the best chance to achieve their dreams. And as parents, it’s your job to give them that chance. Your kids can kick butt. We’ll help.
Much More Than Just A Toy Store...

Browse through milestones in 12 developmental categories covering physical, cognitive, and emotional development and education.
