About Ready for Reception
The early years are crucial to the learning experiences of all children.
Ready for Reception provides children with the opportunity to:
- Transition smoothly from Preschool to school
- Build onto the learning at Preschool
- Enrich early literacy and numeracy skills
- Build confidence and self esteem
- Establish quality relationships
This program assists our staff to get to know your child by:
- Finding out their individual interests
- Acknowledging what they have already learned
- Identifying areas of need
We also value you, our parents, as your child’s first and foremost educator and believe involvement in this initiative will assist us to establish positive relationships.
This results in an effective partnership in your child’s education.
