Smooth Transition to Mainstream School
Our School Readiness Program, a Core Program within our comprehensive approach, equips children with the academic, social, and emotional skills they need to thrive in a classroom setting.
Laying a strong foundation for your child is crucial for a smooth transition to primary school and academic success. Our preschool program aims to cultivate well-rounded children by focusing on three key areas:
- Academic Foundations (IQ):
- Core Literacy Skills: We use a progressive approach to help children master foundational literacy skills. For example phonics, word recognition, reading comprehension, and writing.
- Numeracy Skills: We design fun and engaging math activities to introduce children to basic mathematical concepts. Such as number sequencing, addition and subtraction, recognising shapes, and spatial awareness.
- Social Butterflies (SQ):
- Language Expression: We encourage children to actively participate in discussions. This helps them practice expressing their thoughts and feelings clearly and confidently through activities like role-playing.
- Social-Emotional Development: We help children recognise and understand their own emotions while teaching them healthy ways to manage them. This includes expressing negative emotions like anger, sadness, and frustration, and fostering empathy and compassion for others.
- Emotional Intelligence (EQ):
- Emotional Awareness: We help children identify different emotions and understand the reasons behind them.
- Overcoming Challenges: We encourage children to approach challenges and mistakes with a positive attitude. This fosters perseverance and a willingness to try new things.
The School Readiness Program is more than just academics. Utilising Q Pulse, it provides a holistic approach, ensuring your child is well-prepared for social and emotional aspects for school.
Here's what sets our School Readiness Program apart:
- Play-Oriented Learning: Our program utilises play-oriented activities that spark curiosity and make learning an enjoyable adventure. Through games, songs, stories, and hands-on exploration, children develop essential skills in a way that feels natural and engaging. It fosters a love of learning that motivates children to become active participants in their own education.
- Small Group Instruction: Every child learns at their own pace and has unique needs. Our experienced teachers create a supportive environment where they can tailor their instruction to cater to individual learning styles and address specific needs. This allows children to feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and mastering concepts at their own pace.
- Collaboration with Parents: We work closely with parents to ensure a seamless transition from home to school, providing ongoing support and resources. Our program fosters collaboration with parents. We keep you informed of your child’s progress, provide ongoing support and resources. Furthermore, we work together to create a consistent learning environment that extends beyond the classroom.
