IT CENTRE
In the IT centre, children will develop both skills and knowledge as they learn to work together using computers, iPads and educational software. The programs are designed to engage the children in open-ended explorations, through which they will develop early reading skills as they relate words to pictures. The children will also gain the ability to identify and sort objects, learn sequencing and order as they extend on their own personal interest and creativity.
