They recap numbers and letters through writing exercises and applications play games and explore the surroundings in order to get ready for success in school. During this journey, the teachers serve as guides and the workbook “Good morning, children!” becomes the children’s best companion. Kids are encouraged to ask questions and find answers, to explore and discover, to be creative and act as team players.
