School Readiness Group

This group runs in term 4 every year and is a practice run before ‘big school’.

Starting at pre-school or ‘big school’ is a major step in any child’s life, and preparation can help so much.

The group acts as a ‘test run’ so that children are confident and competent when they start this new chapter. We practise all skills required to successfully enter school. We run circle time, have desk based activities to practise pencil and scissor skills, plus we practise lining up, waiting turns and playground skills.

Of course any group activity develops social skills too!

As with all our groups, parents and caregivers are provided with strategies and ideas to practise at home to continue the learning and ensure lasting change.
