School Ready Program
Prepared, confident and excited for school
This is the year that brings everything together. Your child is building the confidence, social skills and early academic foundations they need for kindergarten and beyond.
Our school readiness program is built around the transition to school, with structured literacy and numeracy, emotional resilience, classroom routines and the independence to manage a school day.
We work closely with local schools so our program lines up with what kindergarten teachers expect, and your child arrives confident, capable and ready to start.
