The transition from kindergarten to school can be a challenging experience
At Gardner Road Kindergarten, we want your child to have fun and get them ready to become a confident and competent learner during their school years.
Our “Transition to school programme” helps to make this journey as smooth as possible.
It provides a variety of experiences for your child, so they can learn to make sense of their world.
It is important that children embrace new challenges, learn to
co-operate with each other and set goals for themselves.
"All activities allow me to develop my curiosity, my imagination and through my enjoyment, my concentration. Talk to me about them and my language will grow too."
Come and see our programme in action.
