3-5yrs courses?

[mushpea]

I want to do a course to help me with the age range 3-5yrs,, I do lots of activites and have lots of toys out each day for them to do but I want to learn how to teach them the things they need to learn ready for school , stuff they would be doing in a nursery, things like how to teach them to write their name or learn letters, recognize numbers and shapes things like that but I want to learn how to teach them in a fun way and maybe get some new ideas on how to teach them these things
does anyone know of a course that does this? I dont mind either E-learning or going to a collage

dont know of any, have you asked their nursery/school how you could help them prepare for school?

Don't know if this would be any good, it is an online course, detailed in the online course section - Enriching play and Learning for 3-5 year olds:
