School Readiness Program for Prep Students

The School Readiness Program is a specialised initiative aimed at equipping children with the essential skills required for a successful start to their Prep year. Held during the summer holidays, this program provides children with hands-on learning experiences in a supportive environment. Whether your child is starting school for the first time or repeating Prep, this program is tailored to meet their needs.

At TT Psychology, we understand that starting school is a significant milestone. That’s why our School Readiness Program addresses the social, emotional, and physical challenges children face, ensuring they transition smoothly and with confidence.

The School Readiness Program helps children develop a well-rounded foundation of skills through engaging and interactive activities. The key focus areas include:

• Emotional Awareness and Regulation
  Teaching children to recognise and manage their emotions, enabling better focus and adaptability in a classroom setting.
• Social Skills Development
  Activities that encourage sharing, turn-taking, and initiating conversations to help children build meaningful friendships.
• Fine Motor Skill Enhancement
  Strengthening handwriting, pencil grip, and hand-eye coordination to support school-based tasks such as writing and cutting.
• Friendship Building
  Learning how to form and nurture friendships to foster a sense of belonging and community.
• Time Management and Routine Adaptation
  Preparing children to handle schedules and transitions seamlessly, reducing stress and fostering independence.

This comprehensive approach ensures your child is ready to embrace the challenges and excitement of their first year in Prep.

Our School Readiness Program is facilitated by two highly experienced professionals:

• Georgina Mendelson, Educational Psychologist
  Georgina is a registered psychologist with extensive experience working with children in educational and community settings. Her expertise lies in helping children overcome challenges related to starting school, with a focus on emotional and social development.
• Elma Badic, Occupational Therapist
  Elma specialises in equipping children with fine motor skills, self-care abilities, and emotional readiness. She has a proven track record of helping children adapt to the demands of school life, ensuring they feel confident and capable.

Together, Georgina and Elma create a nurturing environment where children can develop the skills they need to succeed.

The School Readiness Program is scheduled during the summer holidays, making it convenient for families to prepare their children for the upcoming school year.
