School
Readiness

A structured School Readiness program is implemented from the start of each year for 3-5 year olds. The program aims to prepare children to be confident and independent in the upcoming school environment. It has proven to be a successful program over the years, and improves each year with appropriate staff, child and family input.

We work closely with kindergarten teachers and co-ordinators of surrounding primary schools to ensure our program exceeds the expectations of pre-kinder curriculums.

The 3-5 year old pre-schoolers focus on extending social, self-help, maths and counting, alphabet recognition and writing, languange and

communication, thinking, creative, physcial, music and movement skills. These are carried out in a variety of mediums including verbal discussions, reading, writing, computer education, drawing, project tasks, role play, singing and visual demonstrations.

The 2-3 year old children have age-appropriate developmental programs which offer opportunitites for children to extend skills in the following areas: social, self-help, problem-solving, cognitive, physical, language, creative expression, music and movement. Some of the skills learnt are an introduction to those taught in the pre-kinder years (such as alphabet and number recognition).
