📚✨ Thank You for Joining Our School Readiness Session! ✨📚
It was lovely to see so many of you on Friday afternoon for our School Readiness session! 💬👟🧠
But what exactly is school readiness?
It’s not about being able to write your name or count to 10 — it’s about building the life skills, communication, and confidence children need as they prepare for school.
Here are some of the key areas we focus on:
🧺 Life Skills – Like putting on coats and shoes, using the toilet independently, tidying up, and managing lunchboxes.
🗣️ Communication – Expressing needs, listening, following simple instructions, and playing kindly with others.
💛 Emotional Confidence – Feeling safe, secure, and ready to explore and learn in a new environment.
🌟 And remember – every child is different and develops at their own pace. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to being “ready.”
👨👩👧 How can you support your child at home?
Here are some simple, everyday ways to help build school readiness:
✅ Encourage independence – Let them try putting on their coat, opening snacks, or carrying their own bag.
✅ Talk, talk, talk – Chat about your day, ask open-ended questions, and encourage them to share their thoughts.
✅ Read together – Sharing stories boosts vocabulary, listening skills, and imagination.
✅ Practice routines – Try setting regular meal, bedtime, and morning routines to help build structure.
✅ Play with a purpose – Puzzles, role-play, and games like “Simon Says” support listening, turn-taking, and problem-solving.
We’re here to support you every step of the way — thank you for being such wonderful partners in your children’s learning journey! 🌈💬📖
