Wollondilly Anglican College’s Transition Pre-Kindergarten program is specially designed to assist children to adapt to and learn the structures of schooling prior to starting Kindergarten. Our 2 or 3-day programs provide wonderful opportunities for your child to begin socialisation with a larger group of children and adults. The programs have greatly assisted our students in making a smooth and fearless start into full-time schooling in Kindergarten.
*Please note that your child must turn four by 31 March of the year of enrolment
Many Daycares will provide a level of education that is very much determined by their children’s own interests and willingness to participate. Our programs take a more structured, although at the same time, gentle approach to learning. Children spend part of each day in structured learning situations where they are shown and helped to follow instructions and participate in a positive and helpful manner. These are essential skills that are used to help your child successfully transition into a normal school environment.
Throughout the year, your child will be introduced to Early Stage 1 outcomes in Literacy and Numeracy. Examples include…
Each day starts with roll call and devotions, this also includes time for singing and dancing. A Phonics lesson is usually the first formal lesson of the day. Students will then have a ‘Fruit Stop’ that involves some free play and a snack of fruit to break up classroom time. Transition then also participate in a Mathematics lesson and a Literature lesson (Prelit) each day. During the week, each class will participate in group rotations, fine motor activities, Library lessons and PE lessons.
