Early Childhood Education
In our rapidly changing world it's essential that children develop effective learning skills from an early age.
One of the most vital contributions we as parents and caregivers can make to the future of our children is to provide a solid foundation to our children's education.
This is our responsibility, therefore, to provide a rich and exciting learning environment at home and at school in which our children can learn, grow and develop to the best of their ability.
To help us meet this responsibility we need to choose the best possible support materials and recognise that learning begins in the home and continues with our support all through childhood.
Wide Eye Early Learning Programme
The Wide Eye programme is a response to the universal understanding that learning starts in the home - and at a very early age. It has been designed to help parents and teachers introduce a maximum number of early skills in a structured way and to chart the young child's progress.
Wide Eye was created and developed by a UK-based company which has more than 20 years of direct involvement in education and has translated and sold the Wide Eye programme to more than 40 countries.
The editorial team responsible for creating Wide Eye comprised both experienced teachers and well established authors, who have worked with sales consultants and parents alike to isolate the key ingredients of home and school learning, presenting them in a fresh and imaginative way.
The Wide Eye Early Learning Programme is an internationally acclaimed multi-sensory early learning programme. It has been translated into several languages and sold into more than 40 countries.
The programme holds over 200 varied and original learning tools - books, games and activities, puppets, audios and videos - and the children are led down the path of discovery by a host of humorous and endearing animal characters.
In their adventures they encounter stories, games, rhyme and song - including basic concepts such as colour, number, size and shape, time, words and letters as well as many important early social, observational and manipulative skills.
Wide Eye is exciting and fun, making learning easy and enjoyable both in the home and pre-school environment.
The international appeal of the Wide Eye programme marks a recognition of those world markets where education is seen as a family and community goal and where it is the tradition of distributors and educational sales consultants to introduce only the finest learning materials into homes and schools.
Wide Eye represents a long term commitment to supplying world-wide markets with products that are thoroughly usable and unique.
The promise of Wide Eye Early Learning Programme is to bring the best in early learning education to pre-school children in New Zealand.
