School Readiness Program

For children aged between 3-6 years of age we have an experienced and qualified Early Childhood Education Teacher who has a focus on School Readiness, whilst still programming for individual interests and abilities.

Growin Early Education Centres aim to provide the Kindy children with all the skills they will need to be prepared and confident to make the transition into Primary School.

We also program specific school readiness activities based on literacy, numeracy, fine motor, gross motor, cognitive and social skills development.

This program is based on the children’s interests, strengths and family input.

Goals that the children will develop include:

Becoming comfortable and confident with the room routine
Becoming self-reliant to select and complete activities
Learn basic verbal skills to communicate effectively with peers
Show emerging skills in literacy and mathematics
Learning about the environment and sustainability
Engaging with the wider community

It’s our aim for all children to have fun and be a part of all the fantastic experiences that are on offer at Growin Early Education Centres.

Our Philosophy is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia as well as the educator’s beliefs and ideas on early childhood education and care.

Each element of the Philosophy is interwoven and cannot be viewed as a stand-alone entity.
