Early Explorers is a transition program to Kempsey East Public School for children commencing school next year. The program is designed to make starting 'big' school as successful as possible for children, families and teachers.
Early Explorers transition program
Early Explorers aims:
- to get to know your child as an individual
- to enhance your child's oral language, literacy and numeracy skills
- to provide opportunities for parents or carers to share in their child's transition to school
- to allow your child to develop relationships with other children they will start kindergarten with
- to complement the benefits of early childhood education programs your child may already attend.
How to enrol in Early Explorers
If your child is going to start kindergarten at our school next year and you want your child in this program, please fill out these two forms:
