School Readiness Program
Pre-academic, attention and self-help skills that prepare children for mainstream classrooms.
School readiness is more than knowing letters and numbers. Before a child can sit in a classroom, learn and make friends, they need to hold attention, follow instructions, communicate needs, manage big feelings and handle their own belongings. Our School Readiness Program builds those foundations through structured, play-based sessions — then adds the pre-academic skills a child needs to join a mainstream or inclusive classroom with confidence. Every child follows a written plan with clear goals, and parents are coached to carry the same routine at home.
At our centre, at your home, or online — with school-day support available alongside
Who this supports
- Children preparing for nursery, LKG, UKG or Class 1 admission
- Children with ASD, ADHD, speech and language delays or global developmental delay
- Children who struggle to sit, focus and follow classroom instructions
- Children who cannot yet communicate needs, ask for help or play with peers
- Children who need help with self-help skills — toileting, feeding, dressing and belongings
- Families unsure whether their child is ready for mainstream schooling
How we help
- A readiness assessment across attention, communication, motor, sensory and self-help skills
- Structured small-group and one-to-one sessions that mirror real classroom routines
- Pre-academic building blocks — pre-writing, matching, sequencing, early numeracy and phonological awareness
- Attention, sitting tolerance and instruction-following practice, graduated step by step
- Self-help and independence skills, including toileting, feeding and managing personal belongings
- Social skills — turn-taking, sharing, playing alongside and with other children
- Parent coaching with a home routine, so practice continues between sessions
How the program runs
Free pre-assessment conversation
You tell us your child's age, the school you are aiming for and what you are seeing at home. A senior clinician suggests the right starting point — no charge, no obligation.
School readiness assessment
Standardised tools and play-based observation map where your child stands today across attention, communication, motor, sensory, self-help and pre-academic skills.
A written readiness plan
Goals are written in plain language and scheduled into therapy sessions, so you always know what your child is working on and why.
Weekly practice at home and school
Your therapist coaches you through a simple daily routine, so classroom skills are practised where they actually matter.
Admission readiness review
Before school starts we review the plan with you, agree the support your child will need in the classroom, and connect it to our school-support service if needed.
