4 Year Old Program

Providing children with the essential skills for the transition to school in a safe and fun environment.

Our 4-Year-Old program works with children to co-construct learning, through extending children’s interests, scaffolding learning based on each child’s individual needs and goals and supporting children to challenge themselves.  Our 4-Year-Old classes emphasis is on learning through co-operation, collaboration and enjoyment. 

Through engaging in developmental play and structured group learning children develop skills and dispositions to set them up for future learning success.  Educators work with children to develop their sense of resilience, independence and self-help skills.

The reinforcement of routine and participation as part of a group are essential skills for the transition to school. Early literacy and numeracy skills are supported through a range of experiences, through formal group time learning and through extending on informal learning moments.  Our educators also focus on developing motor skills, social skills and self-regulation skills to ensure that children are ready for the changes of transitioning to school.

All of this takes place with the support of qualified and nurturing educators with a passion for early learning.

Florence Road Pre-School was one of the first Kindergartens to offer a specialist Bush Kinder program. This runs for our Four-Year-Old group on Thursday mornings at Wattle Park.

We are also pleased to be able to offer all children in the Four-Year-Old program access to attend an additional day of kindergarten (on a Monday), above the government funded 15 hours.  This day will be facilitated by our teachers and offers an excellent opportunity to extend on children’s learning
