Preschool Phonics Classes in your neighbourhood.
Little Learner Phonics preschool phonics classes are now running in your neighbourhood. You and your preschooler will learn how letters and sounds work together to create words. By using the award winning educational Jolly Phonics system alongside songs, stories, puppets and crafts, each class is designed to engage your little learner in the world of early literacy in a fun and memorable way. We will explore a new sound a week, blending these sounds to form words and letter formations.
These activities are designed to build early literacy knowledge so your little learner will be able to engage with sounds and print from the first day at school and you are welcome to join at any time. Little Learner Phonics is fun, interactive and educational and many of our classes are filling up fast, it is advisable to get in contact to book your spot. Each class is limited up to 8 - 15 parent/ preschooler team per class.
Classes run in 9-week terms throughout the year in line with the school terms as much as possible. You may join class at any time during the term providing there is availability. You are welcome to come to one free taster class as an introduction to this fun and educational class, please call in advanced to reserve your place. Classes cost $20 per class or $15 with a valid Community Services Card. There is also a siblings discount for more than one child available as well.
