The end of the year is just around the corner and the pre-schoolers are off to their orientations at big school. This week, our program we will be focusing on going to school. This will support the pre-schoolers in their transition to school through a range of numeracy, literacy, physical and creative experiences. This is a great way for the pre-schoolers to learn more about primary school in a fun and engaging way. During our group times we will be reading stories about primary school, engaging in discussions and doing a range of activities, games and songs to support the development of a range of skills. This will also benefit our pre-schoolers who are staying with us next year as they will have the opportunity to develop a range of skills and knowledge related to colours, numbers, shapes and the alphabet. They will also gain an understanding about big school, which will support their transition when the time comes.

​​Starting school is a major transition for children and their families. It is a period of change that can be both challenging and exciting. As an early childhood professional, you can support children and their families to make this transition as smooth as possible. It is important for you to understand that the transition experience starts well before, and extends far beyond, a child’s first day of school.
