Checklist
What does my child need to know before starting school?
We are here to help your child learn academic and social skills. We do not expect your child to have learned their letters, numbers or to read before they start school. However, there are a few skills that can help your child get into the swing of things quickly and cheerfully.
To use the toilet and wash my hands by myself
Draw a picture/make marks on a page and say what I have drawn
Recognise my own name
Tell people my name
Open my lunchbox and any food containers or packets inside it
Dress and undress myself
Put on and take off my shoes (gumboots or velcro shoes are requested if your child cannot tie laces)
Sit and listen to a story for five minutes
Be able to tell an adult if I need help
The best preparation for school is playing and talking! Through playing your child learns what they are interested in and enjoy doing. Talking, singing songs and reading books is an amazing way to set your child up to enjoy reading. If you are concerned about whether your child is ready for school please feel free to come and chat to us, we are passionate about supporting children to have a positive experience in the early years of school.
