Pathway to Prep – 10 Week Group Program

Our signature Pathway to Prep program is a 10-week school readiness program for kids preparing to start school. Your child attends one 90-minute session each week, on a set day and time, across the 10-week term.

With a maximum of just 4 kids per group, every child is truly known and supported. Each session is purposefully planned around our Pathway to Prep framework, but no two sessions are the same. I adapt activities to the kids in front of me — their interests, strengths, needs and the skills they’re ready to develop next.

Your child can join us for as many terms as they need, back-to-back or with a break in between, right up until they start school.

What We Focus On

Our teacher-designed Pathway to Prep framework focuses on 10 key areas of school readiness — from independence, communication and emotional regulation to fine motor skills, early learning confidence and navigating the everyday demands of 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 guided 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.

What you get as a parent

  • Personalised weekly feedback about your child’s participation, progress and individual needs

  • Clear observations about their strengths and areas for growth

  • A termly progress report that brings together your child’s development across the Pathway to Prep

  • Practical strategies for home that are realistic and easy to incorporate

  • A better understanding of school readiness and the skills your child is developing

  • An ongoing connection with me, so you’re always in the loop about how your child is progressing
