Pre School Activities for Child Development
 Preschool activities have never been more fun than with The
Child Development Programme.
There
is evidence that preschool children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
(maybe due to lack of activities) are
showing increasing delays in their development. The Child Development Programme is
an invaluable aid and has been developed to encourage Early Years children to improve in motor skills, language, information and social skills
with activities to aid their development.
The preschool activities in The Child Development Programme are an holistic approach, with them extending learning skills
that are essential pre-requisites for the development of language, literacy,
numeracy and thinking skills.
Preschool children love the activities. It's a great link between early years
education at home, and
carrying through with their development - extending the activities at
nursery and reception class at school.
All preschool Children in the Early years (aged 3 -
6) will benefit with the activities - the programme is suitable for the development of a child of any
ability, learning through challenging activities.
The DVD guides parents through a series of activities to work with their
child and aid in their development.
Children Using the Child Development Programme have made dramatic advances
developing
their communication skills, thinking ability and pre school learning.
Examples of how the preschool activities assisted in Child Development
Ellie was 3 years, 2 months when she began using the programme
and in only 6 months was understanding at the level of a
6 year old.
Thomas was 3 1/2. He had learning difficulties and associated
problems with language. After 9 months on the programme his
thinking skills and perceptual ability were those of an age
equivalent child.
