Playtime Hometime is a colourful board book designed to help children between the ages of 2 and 5, prepare for pre-school or childcare. The book aims to build confidence by walking children through the day ahead, "at kindy". Helping them to understand through photos, the sequence of events which will lead to them returning home again.
Through the morning routine at home, to the moment that they are picked up later that day and the various stages of this new experience in between - play time, lunch time, rest time, home time!
Playtime Hometime can be used not only in advance - or the early stages, of starting childcare or pre-school, but in the proceeding months or even years, as a talking point to your child's own unique day at childcare.
