EMPOWER EVERY CHILD TO THRIVE
Children learn in different ways. Some may experience shyness, anxiety, or social discomfort in a Primary setting. Other children may have sensory sensitivities, neurodivergence, attentional difficulties, or other unique challenges that make participating in Primary more difficult.
This resource kit provides practical strategies, structured training, and downloadable tools to help Primary teachers and leaders support every child as they learn the gospel of Jesus Christ.
