4 Year Old Kinder
4 Year Old Kinder entry age: children preferably will turn 4 years old by the end of April of the commencement year.
At Bubbles Pre-School, we have developed a holistic 4 Year Old Kinder Program that is renowned within the community for setting up children beautifully for school. Our combination of structured learning and explorative play, provide children with a learning environment that seamlessly transitions them into school.
​
Each year, the teachers extend upon the previous year’s learnings and focus on how we can best support each child moving forward. Each child’s focus will be different and they may need special attention with any, or a number of these aspects.
• social and/or emotional connections
• physical and/or gross motor confidence
• improved cognitive and listening skills
• playing co-operatively with other children
• recounting past events and/or completing tasks
• expressing their needs and ideas appropriately
• speaking confidently in a class setting.
​
These aspects are vital in preparing children for ‘big school’ and our intimate setting and knowledge of each child’s strengths and challenges is what we do best!
​
The 4 Year Old Program consists of three, six hour sessions per week. We focus on encouraging the children to be confident, independent and inquisitive learners via these core units.
