Preparing for school and lifelong learning

School readiness is much more than knowing letters and numbers. We support children to become confident communicators, curious thinkers, kind friends and increasingly independent learners. For older children, experiences may include early literacy and numeracy, self-help skills, responsibility, group participation and connections with local schools.
