Little Scribblers Kindergarten & School Readiness

The early years play a crucial role in shaping a child's future success. A well-rounded Kindergarten and School Readiness Program helps children develop the essential skills needed for a smooth transition into primary school. Through a combination of structured learning experiences and engaging play-based activities, young learners build a strong foundation in literacy, numeracy, social-emotional development, and independence, fostering a lifelong love for learning.

A program designed for school success

Our Preschool Program integrates the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standard (NQS) to ensure children are well-prepared for the structured environment of primary school. We focus on:
  • Literacy & Numeracy Foundations – Incorporating phonics, letter recognition, early writing skills, and numeracy through engaging, hands-on activities.
  • Social & Emotional Development – Encouraging self-regulation, turn-taking, and cooperative play, which helps children develop strong relationships and emotional resilience.
  • Independence & Self-Help Skills – Teaching children responsibility by encouraging them to manage their belongings, serve their own meals, and follow structured routines.
  • Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving – Using STEAM activities, construction play, and creative challenges to build problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Physical Development – Incorporating gross motor activities like climbing, balancing, and obstacle courses, along with fine motor skills such as cutting, threading, and drawing.

Partnering with Reading Eggs & Mathseeds for literacy & numeracy

At Little Scribblers, we go beyond traditional learning methods by integrating Reading Eggs and Mathseeds, two highly regarded educational programs designed for early learners.
Mathseeds
A research-based numeracy program that introduces children to basic maths concepts through interactive lessons, puzzles, and number games. It supports problem-solving, counting, number recognition, and early mathematical reasoning. By incorporating these programs into our Preschool and Kindergarten curriculum, we provide structured, evidence-based learning experiences that prepare children for primary school success while ensuring they learn through play and exploration.
Reading Eggs
A fun and interactive phonics-based literacy program that builds early reading skills through engaging activities, stories, and games. Children develop their letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and early comprehension skills in a way that keeps them excited about learning.

A learning environment built for success

Our Kindergarten Program is designed to spark curiosity and exploration. Key learning spaces include:
  • Library Corner – A dedicated reading space that promotes early literacy and a love for books.
  • Dramatic Play Area – Encouraging imagination, role-play, and social skills.
  • Science & Nature Exploration – Hands-on experiences that inspire curiosity about the world.
  • Creative Arts & Construction – Providing opportunities for children to express themselves through painting, building, and sensory play .
  • Outdoor Classroom – Our outdoor learning environment allows children to connect with nature, explore real-world STEAM concepts, and develop gross motor skills through engaging activities like gardening, sand and water play, and outdoor storytelling .

Little Scribblers Uniform

Our Kindergarten children (3 – 5 years) wear a school uniform to:
  • Promote a sense of belonging – Wearing a uniform fosters a sense of pride and community among our young learners.
  • Encourage independence – Uniforms help children learn self-care skills like dressing themselves, which is an essential part of school readiness.
  • Reduce clothing concerns – A set uniform simplifies morning routines for families while ensuring children are dressed appropriately for learning, play, and messy activities like art, gardening, and outdoor exploration.
  • Prepare children for primary school – Wearing a uniform introduces children to school expectations, making the transition to primary school smoother and more familiar.

Following the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) & National Quality Standard (NQS)

Our Kindergarten and School Readiness Program is aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which guides early childhood education in Australia. The EYLF focuses on:
  • Being, Belonging, and Becoming – Helping children build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of self.
  • Play-Based Learning – Encouraging children to explore, create, and investigate through hands-on experiences.
  • Holistic Development – Supporting physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth to ensure well-rounded school readiness.
We also follow the National Quality Standard (NQS) to maintain the highest standards in early childhood education, ensuring that our curriculum, facilities, and teaching methods meet best-practice guidelines for children’s learning and development .

Preparing for the primary school transition

The move from Kindergarten to primary school can be a big step, and we ensure every child is confident and ready by:
  • Introducing structured routines similar to those in school.
  • Providing opportunities for children to practice following multi-step instructions.
  • Engaging in role-playing school activities to familiarise children with classroom expectations.
  • Supporting emotional resilience through discussions and mindfulness activities.
