Finding Thabo Teacher's App

About Finding Thabo Teacher's App

The Finding Thabo Teachers App provides ECD teachers with an easy-to-use mobile solution to assess children as they go through the Finding Thabo programme.

Did you know that 90% of brain development happens before the age of 5? Sadly, the majority of South African children do not receive quality stimulation before they reach school.

What is Finding Thabo? Developed by The Reach Trust, Finding Thabo is an interactive play-based game that early learning teachers, parents and caregivers can play with their young children to stimulate key parts of their growing brains.

The Finding Thabo programme guides early learning teachers through weeks of fun activities that centre around everyday scenes that young children may see or experience in South Africa. These activities are designed to cover key themes in early learning that will help children thrive before the age of 5!

While completing the programme, the Finding Thabo Teachers app encourages teachers to assess children on the themes covered each fortnight. App assessments provide teachers with a way to score each child’s progress, along with a space for them to add comments on their observations. These are useful when reporting milestones to parents and caregivers regularly.

The app allows teachers to create a unique profile that saves their learners' information and their assessments on their mobile devices.

Watch this space! Planned future versions of the app will include attendance tracking and child reporting.
