Why Primary Prep?
As an early childhood teacher for the past 12 years, I have noticed that many students come to school underprepared. They often do not know their letters and sounds, how to ask for help or how to write their name. They do not know how to join their peers, share, and play cooperatively. Many young students lack the fundamental skills they need to be successful and confident in their first year of school.
The transition from preschool (which is often play based) to Kindergarten (which is very academic) is challenging for a lot of children. They no longer have hours of free play and endless choices throughout the day. Students have to follow a routine in a new environment, be part of and cooperate within a larger group, listen and follow directions, and make new friends all while learning how to read, write, and count to 100! We will help you and your child feel confident and ready for the big step to primary school.
