Transition to school
A positive start to a child’s life at school is a collaborative approach between their parents, our early childhood teachers, their future primary teachers, the children themselves and, in some circumstances, health professionals. We work with our local schools ensuring there is open communication with everyone involved to assure the educational and holistic needs for your child are met.
Information is exchanged through both formal and informal channels allowing the schools to gain a greater understanding of your child’s strengths, needs and interests. Our relationships with the local schools have been built on trust and respect , ensuring families are well informed of the processes, requirements, and expectations of the school. Our Kindergarten Program provides the bridge for families to build positive relationships with their respective schools.
