Storybooks are the backbone of our Early Learning and After-school curriculums. They enable us to create themes for learning and accelerate the development of skills such as creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, empathy, self-esteem, perspective, literacy, numeracy, and so much more!

In this library, we show you, parents and guardians, how to do fun educational activities to develop these skills with the children in your care. We offer resources, tips and information that is based on the same principles and themes that we use for our Education programmes at Thanda.

And the best part is that we can do it all whilst having a ton of fun!
