The Joy! starter kit has everything an educator needs to ease themselves into the programme and provide the best possible education for young minds.
Included in the Joy! kit:
Each module guides educators to provide concrete and hands-on opportunities for children that encourage them to learn through their senses using play and use exploration and discovery as the main tools of instruction! Joy! is built to be fun and engaging for children and easily accessible for educators.
Too often, Early Childhood Development programmes have a narrow vision when it comes to actually developing children. They may choose to focus solely on physical or mental development, which sounds great, but it doesn’t “complete the picture”.
ECD programmes need to go beyond and develop children mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Thankfully, Joy! is doing exactly that.
Joy! lessons are infused with the character traits of Jesus which teaches children how to act in accordance with the Word and God’s plan for them.
Children gain an understanding of their creator and the amazing world He has created.
Learners are filled with a sense of hope and purpose and understanding as they are taught how to navigate society.
Children learn what decisions are appropriate at their age which allows them to fulfil their God-given purpose.
