**𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲**

The move from preschool to primary school is one of the most significant milestones in a child’s early years — for children and parents alike.

Children don’t arrive at primary school as blank slates. They bring with them the learning, confidence, relationships and skills they’ve already developed through their Early Years experience. This transition is about **building on those strong foundations**, not starting from scratch.

To support parents and childcare providers during this time, the **𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 ( #𝗡𝗣𝗖)** is offering **𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀** during the week of **𝟭𝟴 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲**.

👶 **𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲:**
• How to emotionally prepare children for the transition
• Building resilience and confidence
• Strengthening the relationship between parents, providers and children
• Supporting children to feel secure and ready for their next step

🗓 **𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 – 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟭𝟴 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲**
⏱ Each session lasts approximately **𝟳𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀**, including live Q&A.

🕰 **𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀:**
• **𝟭𝟬𝗮𝗺 & 𝟳:𝟯𝟬𝗽𝗺 – 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟴 𝗠𝗮𝘆**
• **𝟭𝟬𝗮𝗺 & 𝟳:𝟯𝟬𝗽𝗺 – 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟵 𝗠𝗮𝘆**

ℹ️ **𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲:**

• Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis
