There are many ways to develop relationships with schools…..

Michelle and her team in the preschool room at North Cowra invited the local primary school teachers and students to visit. The students bought along some iPads and laptops to introduce the younger children to some of the technology they use at school.

“The children took turns engaging with iPads and laptops, learning new skills and practicing skills already learnt. Technology is an integral part of formal learning and a key component of our pre-school curriculum. We look forward to ongoing partnerships with the schools in our local community to ensure a smooth transition for children entering formal schooling.” Michelle Hartgers – Early Childhood Teacher North Cowra Children’s Centre
