Throughout the year we focus on ‘School Readiness’ skills to prepare our 2+ and 3+ children with the skills needed for ‘Big School’. The most important factors associated with a successful start and continued learning at school relate to a child’s social and emotional development. At Starfish Lane, our primary objective is to develop and enhance children’s social and emotional development. We aim to develop skills, abilities, and characteristics which promote children’s abilities to become successful learners; while preparing them for school routines, rules, and expectations. Whilst early literacy and numeracy is important for preschoolers, formal writing, reading and counting are not important indicators for school readiness.
