Wonderful news from Joy Babycare

By Daniel Marungu | Project Leader

Thank you card
Thank you card
At Joy Baby Care we give more than just babysitting. Much more.   Our babies are prepared for pre-school learning through extensive exposure to teaching and learning materials. From Day One our babies have been exposed to letters, numbers, shapes and songs.   These are the things they interact with on a daily basis.
 
Five of babies that have been attending to our Joy Baby care, have fully developed into school going age. They have been made ready and we eagerly wait for their first day experience at school. Our care givers have worked hard to ensure that our babies look forward to joining school. These babies would not be joining school had it not been intervened by Tiba Africa Foundation.
 
Will they cry on their first day at school?
Will they find the learning environment unfriendly?
Will they be overwhelmed by new information:  colors, objects, many babies, teachers, noise, school rules etc?
Will our babies cling to their parents?
Will they refuse to stay in the classroom?
NO !
 
Our babies won’t do that!
 
Why?
At Joy Baby Care, we have been preparing them for pre-school.
Babies begin to interact with teaching and learning materials from an early age
They get used to a classroom environment.
They get used to staying away from their mothers.
When other children and parents will be struggling with challenges of day one at school, our babies will be jumping with delight  and  interacting  confidently with  the teaching and learning materials…
 
Why?
 
Our Joy Baby Care ‘graduates’  will have a huge advantage.  Children are often traumatized on their first day at school here in Nairobi:   leaving their families for the first time and coming into a world that is completely outside their experience.  Our children won’t be traumatised. Not only have they been well prepared for their new school, but also they are familiar with the school environment because Joy Babycare is housed on the school site.   They are used to the environment, teachers and the school system.   This is not something experienced by many families.  .  So we feel proud that come January, our children will experience an easy and smooth transition;  We wish them well and see them able to  benefit fully from their education
 
Isn’t that wonderful news?
 
 Thank you for making our children’s first day  at school so easy    through your continuous support to JOY BABY CARE

WE WISH YOU  MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
