We have a range of guides for parents, carers and educators of children under the age of 5. ALL are provided in PDF and Google Doc format, so you can copy, customise, and share between your staff or print for use in your home.
There is more to education than facts and figures. At School-Kits, we believe personal life skills are of the highest importance, and our guides help you to help young children develop skills they will need when they get to school. In order to do this, and also help them learn everything else, we need to understand the child we are teaching. They will all have different learning styles, and some will need extra care. Parents and caregivers will need to learn special ways to teach them. These guides show you the way.
Let’s take a look at these sets of guides:
