GREETINGS
Hello Parents, As we cope with this "New Normal" due to the Covid 19 global crisis.We at the The UWI-SOE-Children's Centre wish to re-assure all families that we continue to educate your child by providing  the E-learning Padlet platform for the April - June,2020 term. The Educators have been working extremely hard with the support of their families to create Asynchronous activities by preparing videos covering the cognitive learning domains( inclusive of worksheets  for math ,science and language) creative, physical education and social development. Synchronous learning is also offered,  which not only educates your child but allows for face to face interaction with their peers and Aunties. This platform will give each child that much needed social connection with their classmates. The entire staff continue to work remotely from their respective homes, to ensure that you and your child are able to access the best possible educational  outcomes  during these difficult times.  We wish for you and your family to stay safe and pray that this too will pass so we can meet again soon at the Centre.

NB.Please note that the videos used in this newsletter were sourced from various educational and business organisations as well as from parent sites sharing information about various subject matters related to education and homeschooling .These videos do not necessarily represent the Centre's Curriculum. Please be guided accordingly.

Respectfully,
Dianne Phillip (M.Ed)
Centre Supervisor/Senior Administrative Assistant.
