For those children who will be turning 5 years old and their parents/caregivers (who must
attend with them initially). Pre-school visits begin before your child turns 5. Please contact the school office on 827 5747 or email pauline.b@leamington.school.nz to clarify when your child's pre-school visits will take place.
Why are we having this class?
To help make a smooth and enjoyable transition to school
To develop children’s readiness for school in literacy, numeracy, and social skills
To show parents how they can assist their child at home, in preparation for entry to school
To reinforce the partnership with home, "it takes a whole village to raise a child"
What is the class?
This class is in addition to the kindy, day care or pre-school that your child may already be attending.
What are we going to do?
Take part in early reading and maths ideas and activities
Give parents ideas on how they can help their children at home with oral language, reading, writing and maths
Provide an overview/introduction about different aspects of the school
Provide an opportunity to get to know other parents and members of staff
Have lots of fun!
If you would like your child to be part of our Kickstart pre-school visit programme, or want to find out more, please make contact with the school office, or email pauline.b@leamington.school.nz
