MyFirstGym’s School Readiness program has been designed for children who are about to start school and is a great way for them to be introduced to some of the elements of school. It will give them that little boost of confidence they may need to start their school adventure and help them meet new friends that will be attending the same school. It will also give you a sense of relief knowing that they will be well equipped for their first day of school.
Our program is run in the last few weeks of the school holidays before school starts. The program runs for 3 hours and includes a variety of activities both movement-based and school-based facilitated by the MyFirstGym Team.
Your child will have a lot of fun while making new friends before their big day.
