School Readiness Program

School Readiness Program – 3-5 years

Our School Readiness program provides a comprehensive learning program for children aged 3-5 years to prepare them for School.  We strive to help develop across all learning areas to equip them best for their learning journey ahead.

Literacy: Our play-based curriculum interweaves emerging reading and writing throughout daily routines.  We also implement the PreLit program, an evidence-based early literacy preparation program developed by Macquarie University to teach pre-literacy skills to preschoolers.

S.T.E.M: Through our project learning, the preschoolers build their inquiry skills and their numerical awareness.

Self-Regulation and Independence: Children build the emotional awareness and confidence needed to express themselves through challenging situations, as well as having strong self-help skills needed in a school setting.

Heath and Wellbeing: Gross motor skills development through structured and play based outdoor experiences in our beautiful garden, alongside fine motor manipulation development and pen holding to support emerging writing.

Social Development: Building trust and resilience through relationships with their peers alongside regular excursions aimed at building each child’s awareness of their local community.

Music and the Arts: Dramatic play and fine arts experiences provide our preschoolers with a creative outlet to express themselves and a safe sphere in which to explore ideas that are meaningful to them.
