As a qualified teacher and a mom of two (especially of a busy, talking and interactive toddler), I am always looking for new, fun and exciting games, toys and educational activities to excite SJ with.
I’ve recently come across the genius idea that is
Mysmartkid.
Mysmartkid
is a play-based educational programme targeting 0-6 year-olds. By focusing on
your child’s development through the use of age-appropriate toys, tools and
activities, Mysmartkid promotes school readiness with its integrated early
childhood development (EDC) offering.

The programme aims to cut through the clutter of
toys, information and well-meaning ‘advice’ that overwhelm many new and
expectant parents. Designed by a panel of leading experts, this exciting new subscription-based
service offers convenience, value-for-money and a timesaver all in one.

The childhood development experts, from
occupational and play therapists to child psychologists, have been closely
involved in the development of the programme and their professional insights and
expertise will be a source of trust and assurance for parents everywhere.

What is

Mysmartkid
is based on the principle that play-based
activities are the optimal medium of brain development and learning in the 0-6
age group. Several key age-appropriate milestones are naturally reached during
this period of intensive growth and development, and Mysmartkid aims to maximise and enrich this process through its
interactive, engaging and stimulating programme.

For busy, working parents, one of the added
benefits of the programme is the peace of mind of knowing that your child’s
play time is targeted towards his/her development – and that your child is
reaching his/her milestones at the right time.
