Pathway to Prep – Group Program

Our signature Pathway to Prep program is designed for children preparing to start school. Each 90-minute session combines purposeful learning experiences with a warm, nurturing environment, helping children build the confidence, independence, and foundational skills they need before starting Prep.

With a maximum of just 4 children per group, every child is truly known. Small group sizes allow me to personalise activities, provide individual support, and build genuine relationships with each child and their family.

Every activity is carefully planned and linked to our Pathway to Prep framework, meaning your child is developing school-ready skills throughout the session—even when it simply feels like fun.

What We Focus On

Our teacher-designed Pathway to Prep framework develops ten key areas of school readiness:

  • Independence & Self Care

  • Looking After My Things

  • Listening & Following Instructions

  • Talking & Communicating

  • Getting Along With Others

  • Managing My Feelings

  • Fine Motor Skills

  • Early Learning Confidence

  • Getting Ready for the Day

  • Being Ready for School

What a Session Looks Like

Each 90-minute session includes:

  • A gentle soft start with invitations to play and settle into the space

  • Story time, group discussion, and Turn and Talk conversations

  • Snack, toileting, and a movement break

  • Teacher-guided learning experiences across our Pathway to Prep pillars

  • Movement games and gross motor activities

  • Reflection, celebration, and independent pack up

After every session, you'll receive a personalised email recap with individual observations, feedback, and practical ideas to continue your child's learning at home.
