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.
