School Readiness

Our goal

Our goal is to prepare your little one for success by nurturing a well-rounded set of skills that support a seamless start to Prep. As a primary school teacher, I see a clear difference between children who have been equipped with these foundational skills and those who have not. 

Our Approach

To ensure each child receives personalised attention and support, our sessions are limited to a maximum of four students per class. This small group setting allows for ample one-on-one interaction and focused support tailored to your child’s development.

ABreC

Our goal goes beyond academics, we support your child’s overall development.

Through our School Readiness Groups, we build social, emotional, language, and self-regulation skills, giving children the confidence and tools to thrive in their first year of school.
