We have developed this program specifically for those children who display signs of separation anxiety or have not been left in the care of anyone outside of the home.
Our program is for children to attend the year before they attend Pre Kindy. It helps with the settling in process when children start Pre Kindy and are left without their parents.
Being separated from parents for the first time can be very daunting for you and your child. Our program begins with the parents attending along with the child. You and your child will be encouraged to participate in the mat sessions and songs, art and craft activities, music time, outside play and story time. Once the children are familiar with the room and the teacher, we aim to have short periods where the parent stands back whist the teacher has the children's attention. Hopefully by term four, the parents will be enjoying a cup or coffee and a chat together in the foyer whilst your child is engaged in the activities provided.

Sessions
We will run two sessions on Thursday mornings at Harvest Lakes Community Centre from
9:15 till 10:15
10:45 till 11:45
Due to limited numbers per session the groups will be based on a first come, first served basis.
The price for the Warm-up Program is $20 per session and is payable up front at the beginning of each term.
**Please note that Warm Up Program starts in Term 2 - Around April**
Parent Involvement
Having our parents involved in out program is essential.
We will encourage our parents to help set up the activities and tidy up the area.
By term four this will become important due to less parents remaining in the room.
