Parenting is Hard Work, but our children are the most important people in our life. They make us laugh, smile and keep us going with whatever we do to make a living. For a parent, there is nothing more fulfilling than to see a child grow and you all agree, it happens very fast. In our busy day-to-day lives, we all wish we had more time to spend with our children. Teaching preschoolers is a lot of work but they leave a lasting impression on a child’s life. We remember the rhymes we learnt in kindergarten. We may forget all math but we never stop using fingers to count. Teachers shouldn’t be spending half their time filling out a tonne of paperwork. They have lessons to teach, brains to mould and a future to build. We at Thames Valley, transform the hard work from parents and a lot of work from teachers into Smart Work with our Parent-Teacher collaboration app, which is all about our children. We passionately built it with an unwavering focus on children’s safety and development. In the era of smartphones, tablets and watches, it is no longer rude to check your phone or smartwatch in a packed meeting at work. It is absolutely OK to get updates about our children! - Why not receive a notification on your smartwatch that your child is in the class? We make that happen with our ATTENDANCE feature. - Worried about how your kid is coping up with the temperature he had last night? Check with the teacher, using our in-app MESSAGE feature. - Have time to kill on your long-ride home? Check your kid’s daily activities and upcoming events with a tap on our DAYCARE DIARY and CALENDAR features. - Running late from work? Let a friend pick-up your kid from school with our PICK AND DROP feature. - Want to know what your prodigy is up to lately? Find out in our CHILD DEVELOPMENT feature. - Take a couple more minutes to finish breakfast before rushing to the bus stop.
