How does PlayBiz work?
Playbiz is a practical online guide that helps you navigate your way through preparing your child to start their school journey. Basically, we give you the tips, strategies and activities you need to support their development of essential foundation skills via both written and video content.
It’s really important to us that this information is affordable, accessible and easy to use. That’s why we provide you with a great range of free information to get you started. For example, School Readiness Checklists that outline typical developmental milestones for the different age groups.
Then, by becoming a PlayBiz member for a modest fee, you gain access to even more information, tips and the video demonstrations of our activities.
With PlayBiz, your can support your little one to start school ready to learn in leaps and bounds!
Foundation skills are the building blocks kids need to develop in order to easily learn school-based tasks such as reading, writing, drawing and playing sport. Throughout their school life and beyond, children will continue to build on these super important skills.
Why become a PlayBiz member?
Because the first five years of a young one’s life lasts a lifetime. The more skills they develop and strengthen before they start school, the stronger the foundation that little miss or mister will have to build on.
Plus, we’ve made sure that everything PlayBiz can be incorporated into your everyday using household items, so there’s no need to stress about finding time for yet another thing on top of all of the other things you’re already juggling as a parent!
All of PlayBiz’s resources have been specially designed to make the most of kids’ naturally curious ways. To junior, PlayBiz feels like fun but you know they’re also learning essential skills while they enjoy themselves.
Basically, your youngster will learn through enjoyable play!
