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?
