Transition to School Program
At Kids Central Early Learning Centre, we understand the significance of your child's transition from preschool to primary school. It's a journey filled with excitement, anticipation, and perhaps a touch of apprehension for both parents and children alike. That's why we've designed our Transition to School Program with the utmost care, ensuring a smooth and confident transition for your little ones.
What is the Transition to School Program?
Our Transition to School Program is tailored to prepare children aged 4 to 5 for the exciting adventure of starting primary school. A successful transition involves academic readiness as well as social, emotional, and physical preparedness. We empower children to embrace this new chapter confidently and enthusiastically through a holistic approach.
Individualised Learning Plans
Every child is unique, and our Transition to School Program recognises and celebrates this diversity. Our educators work closely with each child to create individualised learning plans that cater to their strengths, interests, and areas for growth. By tailoring our approach to your child's specific needs, we ensure they receive the support and guidance necessary to thrive.
School Readiness Assessments
As part of our commitment to preparing children for primary school, we conduct regular school readiness assessments throughout the program. These assessments cover a range of areas, including cognitive development, language skills, social-emotional readiness, and physical coordination. By assessing your child's progress and areas of development, we can tailor our teaching strategies to address their specific needs and ensure they are well-prepared for the transition to school.
Smooth Transition Support
Transitioning to primary school can be daunting for both children and parents. Our Transition to School Program provides comprehensive support to ease this transition and ensure a smooth start to school life. From familiarising children with school routines and expectations to offering tips and resources for parents, we equip families with the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate this exciting milestone successfully.
Our Approach
Play-Based Learning
At Kids Central ELC, we recognise the importance of play in a child's development. Our Transition to School Program seamlessly integrates structured learning activities with ample opportunities for imaginative play. Children enhance their cognitive abilities, problem-solving skills, and creativity through play, laying a solid foundation for academic success.
Social Skills Development
Making new friends and navigating social interactions are essential aspects of the school experience. Our program fosters a supportive environment where children learn to communicate effectively, collaborate with peers, and develop empathy and respect for others. These social skills are invaluable not only in school but also in all facets of life.
Independence and Confidence
Independence is vital to a smooth transition to school. We empower children to become more self-sufficient and confident in their abilities through age-appropriate tasks and responsibilities. From dressing themselves to packing their bags, each small achievement boosts their self-esteem and prepares them for the greater autonomy they'll experience in primary school
Early Literacy and Numeracy
Our program introduces foundational literacy and numeracy concepts in engaging and interactive ways. Children develop essential pre-reading, writing, and numeracy skills through storytelling, rhymes, counting games, and hands-on activities. By making learning fun and accessible, we ignite our young learners' lifelong love for learning.
