Kinder and School Transition: Let’s talk about differences

There are so many differences between home, kinder and school for a child, so how can we help them to become more familiar?

Kinder and School Transition: Getting Skills Ready

In supporting our children in their transition to kinder and school, let’s consider what they need and how we can provide it for them.

Kinder and School Readiness: Brain Development and Play Based Learning

This presentation explores how we can support our child’s development and how play and positive interactions build kinder and school readiness skills.

Kinder and School Readiness: When can my child start?

Parents often ask, when will their child be ready to start Kinder or school? The transition from home, to early childhood education and onto school are important milestones for both children and their families.
