Course Highlights:
Starting school is a huge milestone for both you and your little person and we want to ensure you both feel prepared and confident before taking that step. Our Meet, Learn, Play course has been personally designed by Gemma, our Early Years Expert, with coverage stretching across the entire year prior to them starting Reception. Children will participate in a range of carefully designed and planned activities which will develop vital skills. Slowly building their confidence and independence, this course mirrors the seven main areas defined within the Early Years Framework, enabling your child to be more confident when exposed to such tasks. Sessions throughout the course will be fun, relaxed and enjoyable for the child, allowing them to experience the expectations of a classroom setting, with their grown up, to ensure they are ready and excited to start school. In addition, adults will feel equipped with an understanding of what to expect: feeling confident and with a sound understanding of the Early Years Curriculum and knowledge of how to further support their child in their school journey.
Do I need to know what school my child is going to?
No matter where your child will be going to school, they will be following the same curriculum and our course is designed to support this.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
You do not need to bring anything with you.
What if my child is anxious about coming to the sessions or reluctant to participate?
As experienced teachers, we understand the many anxieties children may feel. Having a parent with them at the session will allow them to familiarise themselves with the expectations of school in a safe and nurturing environment. We will also have a ‘safe space’ allocated for any children who are feeling overwhelmed without any pressure to join in. They may want to stay there and just watch for the first few sessions and that is absolutely fine!
Do I need to sign up for the whole year?
This comprehensive course ensures a thorough and structured approach to covering the entire Early Years Curriculum, providing a solid foundation for children to develop and progress throughout the year. By allowing children to work at their own pace, we are catering to their individual needs. By attending the whole year, they will build a strong foundation for future learning. However, children can attend on a termly basis, with the option to continue each term.
