Here’s a post from a few years ago, but it perfectly explains what our school readiness classes are all about. Message me for more info on what classes we have available this and coming terms. 😊🎨🧩✏️📚
What are School Readiness classes?
Education has changed a lot since we were in Primary school. There are a lot of different pressures on students in this day and age, so giving them a head start in building confidence around learning is key. Our School Readiness classes are designed for exactly that!
Begin Bright School Readiness classes focus on the many different facets of early learning. Not just the cognitive learning of the ABC’s and the 123’s, but important life skills, such as social skills – getting along with others, emotional maturity – are they ready for the huge change of Primary School, language skills – can they communicate well and physical skills – can they hold a pencil correctly or use a pair of scissors? It is also about getting used to routines and schedules and classroom etiquette. For example, raising your hand, following instructions and using good manners.
Here at Begin Bright we create a happy learning environment for your child to thrive, build confidence and learn. We love to see our children leave with a sense of accomplishment each week, so proud of what they’ve just achieved. Whether they have learnt to take turns with other students, sit long enough to hear a whole story or learn how to count to 10 on their own, they may seem like little achievements to us, but they are huge when it comes to starting Primary School.
Helping your child become more independent and build their confidence is vital for a successful start to Primary school. Focusing their mindset into a positive learning set will really reap rewards for their education. School readiness is not an alternative to either Kindergarten/Preschool or the first year of Primary School, think of it as a stepping stone to make their transition to Big School smoother.
