About the Program

This is a 4-day intensive program for children with a diagnosed developmental disability who will be commencing a formal school placement in 2027. The program is designed to support children in preparation for their transition to kindergarten.

In a supportive and inclusive environment, children practise important school skills such as following routines, joining group activities, listening to instructions, navigating interactions with peers and managing their belongings. Through fun, play-based learning, the program helps children build confidence, independence, and social skills, making the move to formal schooling smoother and more positive.
