School Readiness Childcare<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Whilst our program provides children with essential skills from the day when they first walk through the doors of Imagine Early Learning, the last year of preschool is used to hone in on these skills.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Small-group teaching, independent play in an organised environment and whole-group activities help children acquire skills to hop, skip, and jump into kindergarten.<\/p>\n

During this time, we work closely with families to ensure consistency between home and the centre in preparing children for school. As well as one-on-one discussions with families, we also plan information evenings to discuss school readiness.<\/p>\n

Kindergarten teachers from local schools are also invited to the information sessions to answer any questions from families.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    • Reading stories about starting school.<\/li>\n
    • Including school props such as uniforms, bags, lunch boxes and chalkboards in dramatic play areas<\/li>\n
    • Supporting children to develop their self-help and social skills \u2013 looking after the belongings, being able to have the confidence to ask for help when necessary, resolving conflicts with peers, self-help skills in dressing, toileting, opening lunch boxes etc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
