Preparing Your Child for School Starts Earlier Than You Think

Preparing for school begins long before the first day.

Early learning environments play an important role in building the skills children need for this transition.

Building confidence

Children develop confidence through:

• trying new activities

• building relationships

• learning through play

Developing independence

Everyday routines help children:

• manage small tasks

• make choices

• participate in group activities

Social and emotional readiness

Children learn how to:

• interact with others

• understand emotions

• build friendships

Supporting the transition

A supportive childcare environment helps children move towards school feeling more prepared and confident.
