Karratha Family Centre – School Readiness Program is a fun, engaging, play-based learning program to support 3- to 4-year-olds with their transition to school.
Our School Readiness Program aims to prepare the children for a structured school setting (Kindergarten and beyond) and focuses on developing children’s physical, cognitive, emotional and social skills, in line with the Early Years Learning Framework. All days of the program have varying activities to support the children in developing their sense of independence, sense of creativity and wonder, and a sense of belonging.
Each day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the program will follow a routine, which includes both indoor and outdoor play-based learning experiences, sensory play, exploratory free play activities, teacher-guided activities, as well as mat/group sessions which include songs, movement and stories and morning tea and lunchtime routines.
All children must be 3 to 4 years old and toilet-trained to attend our school readiness program. (We understand children have toileting accidents, and we will assist children with toileting when they have an accident, however, we do not have the capabilities to be regularly changing children. Multiple toileting accidents will require the child to be withdrawn from our program until they are toilet-trained.)
Children need to bring the following each day:
Cost: All sessions are $60.00 per session ( inclusive of GST) and enrolments are for 10 weeks per term. On enrolment, you will receive an invoice for the full 10 weeks of Term, which is payable two weeks before the commencement of each Term.
All enrolments are rolled over each Term, securing your child’s spot for the next Term, unless you advise that you need to withdraw your child from future terms.
