School Readiness
“When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not join the chaos.” – L.R. Knost
SCHOOL READINESS CLASSES
We appreciate that starting school can be overwhelming for children and parents alike. These days, the school curriculum is fast-paced and jam-packed, teachers are stretched to the limit and there’s incredible pressure on children to keep up. We aim to relieve the stress and provide the best possible preparation for and transition to school.
Our classes are specially designed to cater for each individual child’s learning needs, styles and abilities. We don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’ programs. Instead, we ensure your child is working towards goals that are relevant to them and tailored to their specific needs.
