Our occupational therapists run this school readiness program to focus on social skills, organisational skills, fine motor skills, emotion recognition, basic phonics and numeracy skills and of course – FUN!

The program is designed to help children have a smooth transition into school in a safe, friendly and FUN environment! 

Topics we cover include; introducing themselves to the group (working on social skills), counting and recognising shapes, scissor skills, pencil grips, and so much more….

 

Sessions will run for 2 hours each over 3 consecutive days over the school holidays.

The typical session includes group time and basic school routine, fine motor activities, snack breaks and group-based games to encourage the development of friendships and increased social interactions. Following each session, parents are provided with take-home information with tips and tricks to support their child’s school readiness.

Our school readiness program is designed for children aged 4-6 to further develop their skills required for a smoother transition to school. It assists with the development of;

  • Fine Motor skills: Pre writing shapes, ability to write own name and use scissors to cut along a straight line.
  • Executive Functioning skills/Play and Social skills: The ability to sit on the mat for 10 minutes, share items, take turns, put hand up to ask questions, follow a schedule, identify your own body parts, and recognise emotions.

 

Any new or existing clients to Bloom Wellbeing will need to contact our office to express their interest in the group and discuss next steps to ensure they are placed in the correct program to see them flourish.
