THINKZONE AUGUST NEWSLETTER
Engaging parents and children at home

Since the pandemic, we have been using remote instructions by phone and simple SMS messages along with automated voice call to engage children aged 3-10 years in activity-based learning content. Our educators are now following up with parents on a regular basis by personalized calls and tracking the progress of children who are a part of this program.
