TIPS FOR KIDS “Tailored Individual Programs Supporting children in Need” is a newly established home-based Private Consultancy providing Educational Services to working parents at safe locations and family homes in Port Moresby.
TIPS FOR KIDS operates by providing in-home services which will be provided to your home.
This may be a new culture shock for many Port Moresby residents.
“We operate to provide educational services to parents who may have a desire to support their children’s individual progress at School; and academically at home” says founder Dianne Meli.
In an interview with the founder she spoke briefly about TIPS FOR KIDS and its services in the community:
“During the Covid19 school suspension when schools in Port Moresby switched to modes of distance education such as stay at home learning packs; we recognized the need for student individual support programs through the emergent gaps students where showing in school progress reports.
It became more apparent that in order for children to succeed in learning Progress; they needed more individual support from the teacher.
And we understand that in a collective environment such as a school students may be unable to receive that individual support.
This can also be a direct result of overcrowding and exceeded teacher-student ratios.
We also recognize that children in primary school age and grade levels have been affected by the unexpected election-related riots in Port Moresby that disrupted their education this year.”
By bridging those gaps in education and meeting a need for parents in the community, we are providing Homeschool Services that will operate throughout the school calendar, school quarterly terms, and throughout the academic year.”
We are open for enrollment, and would like to encourage more and more parents to come forward and try something new!
Miss Meli says she also provides tutoring services for very young children in early childhood ages and grades.
“Our tutoring services are for children ages 3-8 currently attending early learning centers in Port Moresby, or in grade school preschool, kindergarten, prep, grades 1-2.”
I decided to use my Australian Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care to provide tutoring for very young children in the community because there is a need for early childhood tutoring to support our children at an early age and build a strong foundation for School.
