Educational Toolkit – Let’s Play and Learn

Text on the button

Dear parents,

The purpose of this School Readiness Toolkit is to help you prepare your child to function successfully at school and enjoy learning. Children who are happy, fulfilled, and self-confident and have a positive self-image will generally adjust easily to school.

The exercises in this kit were chosen on the basis of the fundamental skills that three-to-five-year-olds need to master. They offer only a few examples of activities you can do at home with your child. Don’t hesitate to use your imagination and your own ideas to enrich these activities aimed at stimulating your child such as: doing interesting outings, visit the library, visit a farm and mostly get the children to participate in the family daily activities.

Remember that, you, as parents, can help your child tremendously by preparing him or her from a young age for the great adventure of school, by taking an interest in your child, by being attentive to his or her needs, e.g., sleep, nutrition, love and affection, in short, everything that can play a role in facilitating his or her learning on entering kindergarten. This handbook contains exercises that can help each of you with this important responsibility.

Have fun!
