Preparing For School

Social development is very important and your child will have a head start if he/she is used to being with other children; playgroup activities are a great help.

Below are a few suggestions to ease your child into school life.

It would be very helpful if before arriving at school all children are able to:

 

  • Dress and undress on their own
  • Manage their own shoes
  • Attend to their own toilet needs
  • Use a knife and fork
  • Recognise their own name
  • Use pencils and crayons
  • Use a pair of scissors
