School readiness

School readiness isn’t about “learning to read and count”. It’s about attention maturity, self-regulation, motivation, listening to an adult and being part of a group. When those are in place, reading and counting come fast. Without them, a child may know the letters and still struggle.

Our programme is built on a comprehensive readiness assessment and targeted work on gaps.
