Starting school is a major milestone—not just for children, but for parents too! Whether your child is full of excitement or feeling nervous (or both!), our School Readiness Workshop is here to help you navigate this big transition with confidence.

We go beyond ABCs and 123s to explore the essential developmental, emotional, and practical skills that help children thrive in a school environment.

​

What We’ll Cover in the School

1. What Does “School Ready” Really Mean?

Spoiler alert: It’s not about being able to read or write before Day One! We’ll break down the key areas of school readiness:

​

• Self-care skills (like toileting, dressing, and snack time)

• Emotional regulation (coping with change, following instructions)

• Communication and social development

• Confidence and independence

Research shows that children who are emotionally and socially prepared tend to settle more easily and feel more confident when starting school (Pacey UK, 2022).

​

2. The Skills That Matter Most

We’ll focus on what your child really needs for a successful start, including:

​

• Following routines and listening to adults

• Making friends and playing cooperatively

• Managing big feelings and problem-solving independently

• ​

3. How to Support Your Child at Home

​

You’ll get a toolkit of fun, practical ideas you can start using straight away to boost school-ready skills through everyday play, conversations, and routines.

​

4. Saying Goodbye: Separation & Settling In

​

We’ll discuss gentle strategies for navigating separation anxiety, drop-offs, and the first few weeks with confidence and calm.
