The Gymea Pre-Kindergarten Difference
SCHOOL READINESS PROGRAM
One of the biggest changes faced by children in early childhood is the transition from Pre-School to Kindergarten. As such, School Readiness is the key purpose of Early Childhood Education and is the focus of Pre-School Educational Programming. At Gymea Pre-Kindergarten, we go a step further. To ensure we make the transition as seamless as possible, our educators in Pre-School Room work in partnership with the Educators in the Toddler Room to build the foundations of School Readiness and develop a love of learning from a younger age. We continue to build on these previous learnings right up until our Pre-Schoolers graduate. This staggered approach allows children to gradually build their skill and knowledge base and grow confidence in their ability over time. Furthermore, this unique approach allows our educators more recognise and provide resources to any children who may require additional support in preparing to start Kindergarten.
SHIRE THERAPY GROUP
Gymea Pre-Kindergarten has partnered with Shire Therapy Group, local Paediatric Therapy Specialists, to offer the following at the centre:
- Free in-centre screenings of the children
- Individual Therapy sessions at the centre during your child’s attending hours (this is particularly handy for families who work full time and struggle to take children to appointments)
- Additional Training for Gymea Pre-Kindergarten Educators on developmental milestones and assessment tools to ensure they are staying updated on best practice methods.
We are proud to have this unique offering as part of Gymea Pre-Kindergarten’s service.
