Penapenatia

Reo oriori prides itself on its unique Ready for School programme which we have developed through research and close liaison with primary schools in the region. Our programme is designed to cultivate children’s confidence in themselves and their abilities, before taking their next steps into primary school.
Children are brought into the Ready for School group when we begin to observe their interest and intrigue in primary school content learning, and as their time to begin school nears.
Each day, the children in this group are gradually introduced to a range of learning experiences including simple phonics and numeracy, as well as being encouraged to become more independent, looking after their belongings, organising themselves and gaining confidence.
Our team dedicates time throughout the year to visiting primary schools, meeting new-entrant teachers and ensuring our children will be able to seamlessly transition to school. Members of our team are qualified and experienced in primary school teaching as well as early childhood. Exceptional relationships with the schools and parents are key to our ready for school programme, and we pride ourselves on progress in this area.
