Teacher Resources for South African Preschools
Please Note: A change of policy
- We need to raise money in order to assist the schools we are working with.
- In order to be able to do this, the programs which have been 'free to use' in the past, will no longer be downloadable from this site.
- The programs for use on a computer or printed and bound manuals will in future be supplied on receipt of payment.
Informal Preschools
Informal preschools or creches, of which there are thousands in the South African townships, face almost insurmountable problems when it comes to providing a value-based service to their communities. They receive very little assistance and very little training. The introduction of early learning programs is an absolute essential in these schools. |
Adopt-a-School
This gives anyone a chance to help a school in their area. Simply request the manuals for the school and help the teachers use them. Manuals are couriered on receipt of the donation. Sponsor Information: Adopt-a-School |
Teacher Training
As most teachers have not had any training, this should be a compulsory training course. Sponsors adopting a school should work through the training program with the teacher(s) at the school, or arrange for someone else to do so. The manual for each module is also the training manual. |
Buddy Software Teach Me Series
This is a series of teaching manuals written for preschools (ECD centres). They provide the schools with materials to use to give the children a good start to their education. Teachers and children make all their own games and interactive activities. Hundreds of worksheets included.

TEACH ME SERIES MANUALS FOR TEACHERS

Using Printed Manuals
Very few teachers or preschools have computers. Hence we use manuals which, when held vertically, work very much like a computer screen when the teacher does explanations. The manuals have all the lessons and presentation pages teachers will use. Story Time manuals: These can be downloaded in pdf format. |
Programs from which to Print Worksheets
All the manuals have lessons which require worksheets to be printed for the children. A computer program to do this is supplied with each manual.
