Growing with YA

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:

Natural Environments

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.

Nutrition

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.

Getting Ready for 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.

TRANSITION TO SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR PRESCHOOLERS

Young Academics’ Transition to School Program for preschoolers has been specifically designed for preparing your child for the move from early education to primary school. We focus on building their emotional, cognitive and physical development though our holistic approach to these developmental years. Some examples of how our Transition to School Program supports your preschooler’s learning and development include:

  • PHYSICAL
  • SOCIAL
  • EMOTIONAL
  • COGNITIVE
  • LANGUAGE

PHYSICAL

01
PHYSICAL
By focusing on life skills, such as independently moving, going to the bathroom alone and learning simple rhythms, we encourage your preschooler to take increased responsibility for their health and physical development. This promotes a culture of independence that is crucial as they enter their school years.

SOCIAL

02
SOCIAL
We want your child to be as comfortable as possible in a school setting. New friends and new teachers can be daunting, which is why we specifically cater to building your child’s sense of identity. Our educators model how to be receptive to emotions both within themselves and others. This helps to show your child how they can cooperate in both an independent and social setting.

EMOTIONAL

03
EMOTIONAL
As a preschooler, understanding your own emotions is essential. We teach your child about connecting with and positively contributing to their world, including having respectful conversations and being receptive to emotions. Through play-based activities, our educators facilitate these situations, teaching your child to understand and respond appropriately to emotions.

COGNITIVE

04
COGNITIVE
Through a mix of structured and unstructured activities, our expert educators ensure your child is well set up to access and achieve educational outcomes. This program takes your child through a range of real-life concepts and ideas so that they are able to properly express themselves and understand the world around them. Our activities cover areas of literacy, numeracy, creativity, problem-solving and language using a range of media.

LANGUAGE

05
LANGUAGE
Foundational literacy skills and concepts are vital for your child’s first year of school. Verbal and written literacy is achieved by children reading, writing, practicing sounds and telling stories.

AT HOME LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

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.
