Little Kindy Program

The importance of a positive transition to school is well-recognised. It is one of the most significant events in the lives of young children and their families. It is important for each child’s wellbeing and ongoing educational and social success. Transition to school provides an ideal opportunity to connect with families and support them to become active participants in their child’s learning.

Little Kindy is for the purpose of orienting children to The Oaks Public School

This includes:

the school getting to know each child, their prior knowledge and skills and engaging in reciprocal relationships with local preschool services to support this
working with families and children to support development in a wide range of focus areas such as literacy, numeracy, social skills and wellbeing
building familiarity with school routines and the school environment
children getting to know teachers and other children
building familiarity and relationships within the new school environment.
