Preparation for School

 

​

Expanding the foundations of a child's "Learning Journey".

​

• We want all children to leave our preschool with a sense of who they are and that they have a place in this world that they can contribute to. 

• It is important every child leaves with an appreciation of who they are in their own culture and that they  have an understanding and respect for other cultures. 

• Children will have developed the skills to form relationships with others and have an understanding of how to solve problems. 

• They will have an awareness of what it looks like to be responsible, respectful, kind and empathetic to those around them.

• Children will have developed an appreciation for the community of learners they have been a part of, knowing more about the community they live in and its place in the world.

• Their curiosity of the natural world will have developed through understanding, knowledge, appreciation and respect for all things living. They will know that our planet needs to be looked after and that they can make a difference through their practical understanding of sustainable practices.

• Each child will have developed a strong sense of belonging and feel confident in expressing their thoughts and ideas knowing that their contributions matter.

• They will be independent, have an ability to concentrate, have fine and gross motor skills, have an understanding of literacy through phonetic knowledge, and have concrete and abstract concepts of numbers.

• They will have a "love of learning" and feel excited about taking their next step in life as they head off to school.
