Commencing 'big school' is a major event for a child and their family. As your child approaches school St Pauls Lutheran Kindergarten ensure they are ready for this important transition by integrating a school readiness program as part of their daily experiences. 

Their educators have developed an extensive school readiness program that ensures that the transition to your child's school of choice will be a smooth and happy one. 

Their program also encourages independent learning. And they provide experiences and activities that are driven by the interests of their children, focusing on their skills and development and assisting them to achieve realistic goals. 

By using the National Early Years Learning Framework it provides us a strong emphasis on play-based learning as play is the best vehicle for young children's learning providing the most appropriate stimulus for brain development. The Framework also recognises the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy and social and emotional development). We aim to give the children the necessary skills to work towards achieving these outcomes, within a stimulating and fun environment where learning opportunities are planned using a play based approach. 

The School Readiness program incorporates pre-writing and reading skills using the latest technological resources as well science experiments and maths concepts where children can learn about the world around them as well as exploring and learning key life skills.
