Since their introduction late last year, Techno Corners have taken the industry by storm. There are now more than 60 Techno Corner computers in use in Australian preschool rooms – in city and country centres alike.
The response from centre owners, Directors and teachers has been wonderful: “easy to use”, “child friendly”, “very useful for small groups”, “extremely happy”, “we can see the excitement” and much more. See the Testimonials page for full details.
Today’s parents have an expectation that a top quality childcare centre will do more than provide the best in care for their child. They expect a balanced, appropriate educational programme to be part of their child’s care.
Techno Corners provide you with a hassle-free way of incorporating state of the art, computer based learning into your pre-school programme. They have been carefully designed with pre-schools, kindergartens and childcare centres in mind, ensuring that you are providing your children and teachers with sound learning in a fun and engaging way.
The Techno Corner package has been specially designed with pre-school children and child care centres in mind. The package features:
