Embedding aspects of school life in the kaupapa of our preschool room is an effective way to assist your child in their preparation for a smooth transition to kura. This also teaches your preschooler some of the necessary skills they will need to cope with this next step in their education journey. Various fun experiences are weaved into your child’s day, so they recognise the rhythms and routines of school life.
