About

My name is Candice and I am the founder of Building Blocks @home. I came up with the idea when I heard that schools were starting to go back during the Covid19 pandemic. A lot of my friends, who are parents and teachers, expressed great concern with sending children back to school when the infection rates are so high. School in the Early Childhood Development stage is all about interacting with friends and exploring using their senses. How can you send your child to school and ask them to social distance from their friends they haven’t seen in months? As well as risk their health by sending them back to school when the chances are high that they can contract the Coronavirus.

As I am extremely passionate about teaching and children, I decided to take all my knowledge of 6 years working in British International Schools around the world, and create a program that parents could teach their young children in the comfort and safety of their own home.

The program are for the ages of 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 years old. Each program comes with tips and a helpful guide to help stimulate and encourage your child’s learning. The programs last the whole year in your child’s specific age group with links to resources, songs, activities and parenting tips to ensure they are reaching their full potential.

You will be able to contact me if you feel you need help or support with something along the way.

Yours in learning,
Candice Smithie
