Ready for School /Prekindergarten is part of our curriculum designed specifically for children attending New Leaf Learning and Childcare centre in the year before school. It supports your child in being confident with a positive self esteem and attitude towards starting school and combines education, health and wellbeing skills necessary for the next big step to school!
