Transitioning from Childcare to Primary School at Scotts Road Child Care

At Scotts Road Child Care, we understand that the transition to primary school is a significant milestone in your child’s early learning journey. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and supportive as possible, ensuring each child feels confident and prepared for the exciting new chapter ahead.

Our Relationship with Darra State School

Located just across the road from Darra State School, we are in a prime position to help children make the transition from childcare to primary school. Our strong relationship with the school allows us to work collaboratively with their teachers and staff, ensuring a seamless progression for our children. Through regular communication and shared activities, we help children familiarise themselves with the primary school setting, reducing any anxieties they may have about starting school.

Preparing Children for School Readiness

Our Preschool and Kindy programs are designed to foster the skills children need to succeed in primary school. We focus on building early literacy and numeracy skills, as well as encouraging independence, problem-solving, and social skills. From structured group activities to creative play, our programs are tailored to each child’s needs to ensure they feel ready for the next step.

Emotional and Social Support

The emotional well-being of children is just as important as their academic readiness. At Scotts Road, our experienced educators work closely with families to help children develop the resilience and social skills needed for the school environment. We encourage children to express their feelings, work as a team, and develop friendships, giving them the confidence to navigate the new social dynamics of school life.

Familiarisation with School Routines

To make the transition smoother, we also introduce routines that mirror those of a primary school environment. From group time and structured play to meal routines, children become accustomed to the patterns of school life, easing their transition when they move on from childcare.
