Kickstart to Kinder
Three-year-old Kindergarten
Aspire’s three-year-old Kindergarten program, Kickstart to Kinder, continues to build on the foundation of learning and development educators have fostered in your child’s early years.
Our fully funded programs are designed by a collaborative team of kindergarten and local primary school teachers. This approach ensures children develop the much-needed social and emotional skills to transition into 4-year-old Kinder and their first year of primary school.
Kickstart to Kinder provides opportunities to learn through play in a safe and supportive environment. Structured and unstructured learning experiences support children to discover their interests, abilities, and limitations.
Research shows that two years of Kindergarten are more beneficial than one, with children who attend a kindergarten program being less likely to be developmentally vulnerable at school. Within our Kindergarten program, children learn key skills for life such as creative thinking, social and emotional skills, and early literacy and language skills.
In our Kickstart to Kinder program, we encourage children to learn about the world through play. We provide a range of interactive, fun, and educational learning experiences to encourage children to become curious, creative, and confident about learning.
Two Years is Better Than One
Find a Sense of Belonging
Build Focus & Concentration
Become More Independent
Kinder Readiness: Learning Outcomes
Socialising with peers promotes a sense of belonging away from primary caretakers, this healthy separation will help your child settle more quickly in new environments.
Focusing on an activity of interest to complete a task provides your child with a sense of satisfaction and increases their concentration stamina.
Establishing independence is an important stage of development. Your child’s pathway to independence is supported by confidence-building life-skill activities, such as toileting.
