Pre-school (3 - 5 years)

It’s a proud and exciting time seeing your child become more independent. This section focuses on building the skills your child needs to get ready for school and to manage their health and emotional wellbeing. As a parent or carer it’s important you talk about starting school in positive terms, as something exciting and enjoyable. With a little planning and encouragement, most children will settle in easily at school and be ready to learn and have fun in the next chapter of their lives.
