PRESCHOOLERS
At Young Academics, we understand the importance of the formative preschool years in terms of your child’s emotional, cognitive and physical development. As they get ready to enter the real world, our educators will prepare your child for school by instilling passion for education and practicing real-life situations using our engaging programs and activities.
- Our Transition to School Program has been specifically created to guide preschoolers through the important milestone of getting ready to start ‘big school’.
- We want your child to be confident enough to excel at school – from self-control to gaining understanding and purpose, our holistic approach means your child is secure, supported and ready to take on the challenge.
At Young Academics, we focus our attention on equipping preschoolers appropriately for the next stage in their life – the transition to school. We prepare your child for school through an intentional and connected framework of activities, resources and facilities, while engaging them in both the physical and psychological aspects of learning.
Your preschooler will be further supported in their transition through:
Our centres allow children to learn through exploration with access to outdoor learning environments with features such as bike tracks, sandpits, and quiet zones for yoga, stimulating their curiosity with bold colours, interactive equipment, and more.
Created by a dietician and implemented by in-house cooks, our Nutrition Program promotes health and nourishment through every meal. With a healthy mind and body, children can concentrate and learn, helping them make healthier decisions when they transition into school.
Our program implements both structured and unstructured play, with every activity ensuring your child is ready for real-life situations. Vital to preschoolers, we ensure your child is well supported to learn at their own pace, giving them the confidence to take on kindergarten.

At a time when your child is undergoing rapid growth and development, we aim to give them the best possible start to their early education. Across our early learning centres we consistently provide:
We see our relationship with our families as a partnership as we work together to ensure your child’s early education experience sets them up for a lifelong love of learning. If parents want to extend their preschoolers learning at home, helping them to achieve their developmental milestones, some fun ways they can do this include:
- Giving your child more responsibilities around the home such as setting the table or caring for the family pet will promote self esteem and confidence.
- Take any opportunity you can to incorporate unintentional learning activities in the day such as playing I-Spy on a walk or writing a shopping list together which will teach literacy skills.
- Create your own book together by cutting out pictures from old magazines and gluing them to paper will your preschooler develop fine motor skills to help with emergent writing.
- Taking various objects into the bath to conduct your own sink and float experiments is a great way to introduce preschoolers to scientific concepts such as investigation and hypothesising.
