Birth to 4 Programs

 

On Fridays we run sessions designed for children from Birth to 4 years. The program is offered in two different formats which operate between 9.15am until 12.15pm during school terms. There is no cost for these programs. All parents or carers are asked to bring a snack for their children and adults are also asked to assist with the packing away at the end of each session.

Jump and Jive for

Under Fives

(0- 5 years)

These sessions are based on using physical activity and music to build literacy, numeracy, gross motor and social skills in young children. Each week a number of activities are set out for children and their parents or carers to work through. The teacher¨s use of rhymes, songs and music provide a strong literacy focus. This session runs for about an hour in our Early Learning Centre at the school and then children split into two groups according to their age.

Little Explorers

(Pre - Kinder Sessions)

Children who will be attending kindergarten in the coming year are provided with the opportunity to explore and learn. The program offers children an opportunity to learn about routines, to take part in art and craft activities and to develop numeracy, literacy and social skills.

                                                          Little Movers

(0 – 3 years)

This play and learn session includes social play, art and craft, early literacy and numeracy activities as well as outdoor play.

 

In addition lots of books and games can be borrowed by children and there is also a range of books and DVD¨s that parents might like to browse or borrow from the parent library. If parents have particular concerns or interests workshops that might address important issues can be organised.
