Kidpower for Young Children Programme – for Parents, Caregivers and Teachers
What is the Kidpower for Young Children Programme?
A series of workshops provide a synthesis among all of tamariki learning environments. They ensure everyone is on the same page, learning the same skills, and developing the same safety strategies.
Kidpower provides simple and effective tools to learn, develop, and practise important social-emotional skills. The programme helps teachers respond to inappropriate behaviour, create a safe environment and build tamariki’s trust that their teachers care and will help if something is unsafe.
