School Readiness Program
Get ready for School!
The Program
Transitions, writing, eating together and making friends
This program is run by speech therapist, occupational therapist and teachers. School readiness sets the stage for a child’s educational journey, laying the groundwork for their ability to absorb new information, follow instructions, and stay focused on tasks.
Our school readiness program focuses on building foundational skills, fostering emotional resilience, and enhancing social adaptability, all of which are crucial for a child’s overall success. Through a combination of structured activities and guided play, we help children develop the skills they need to approach their new school experience with confidence and enthusiasm.
