Why Choose Us?
Starting school is a significant milestone for your child, often accompanied by feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and confusion. It’s a shift from small familiar settings to a bigger world of learning. School environments can be a huge adjustment for little learners, where new practices, expectations, routines, social dynamics, and learning approaches can be very different from their previous experiences.
During a child’s transition to school there is often a lack of consistency across relationships, curriculum, resources and support. Recognising the importance of continuity in this significant transition, our school readiness and small group tutoring programs bridge the gap between kindergarten and school. We support children to build confidence and resilience in managing these changes, providing a safe space for open conversations about school, addressing any misunderstandings, allaying fears and supporting children to transition and adjust to big school.
Thoughtfully designed to complement kindergarten, daycare, or school, our programs offer a taste of big school within a small, supportive environment. We know that early childhood experiences have a profound impact on children’s learning and development. The initial adjustment to school is crucial, and negative experience during this milestone can lead to disengagement, poorer educational outcomes, and negatively impact children’s resilience, ability to cope with change, and their self-image as a learner.
At Little Big School, we provide a safe and nurturing environment, equipping children with the skills they need for a positive start to school. Our team recognises that every child learns differently, and our teachers tailor their approach to each child's unique abilities. Enrol your child in one of our programs to give your child the best start for school.
