School Readiness
As your child approaches school we ensure they are ready for this important transition by integrating a school readiness program as part of their daily experiences. Puggles has a one of a kind school readiness program that ensures that the transition to your child’s school of choice will be a smooth and happy one.
The School Readiness program incorporates pre-writing and reading skills using the latest technological resources as well science experiments and maths concepts where children can learn about the world around them as well as exploring and learning key life skills. For you as a parent we hold mid-year parent teacher meetings and Parent Information Events to give you further incite, and to keep you up to date with your child’s School Readiness program.
How do I know if my child’s ready for ‘big school?’
Each and every child is different how they learn and develop during their early years, however it is most important that your child is SOCIALLY and EMOTIONALLY ready before they commence primary school.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT:
- Building friendships with their fellow peers
- Playing socially with their peers during free-play
- Interacting through conversations with peers and educators
- Taking turns, sharing and cooperation
- Listens and follows instructions from educators
- Developing self-help skills in doing things independently
- Develop confidence in speaking during group times and during one-one interactions.
EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
- Controlling their emotions when upset from either being spoken to by educator in regards to their choices they may have made and/or their behaviour
- Controlling their emotions during times where they may be upset at their fellow peers and/or during drop-off times
- Expressing their words if they are upset at their peers during free-play and NOT physically hitting other child/children
- Following instructions and cooperates when spoken to by educators
