We’re here to help your child get ready for the world of mainstream schooling. Equip them with the social and emotional skills for the best transition possible.




An unfamiliar environment, new routine, and fresh faces can be daunting. Our programme tackles common transition woes from the beginning.


We bring children through many simulated scenarios faced in mainstream schools to prepare them for a wide range of situations.


Many programmes focus on either academic or social readiness. Our dual emphasis stems from a belief both are integral to a successful school experience.
WE'RE HERE TO HELP


Develop socio-emotional awareness by identifying and handling emotions such as fear, anger, or frustration.


Work on your child’s ability to work on tasks, assignments, and instructions independently.


Benefit from being able to stay attentive during school time and follow through classroom activities.


Improve your child’s ability to express their needs and wants verbally and appropriately, follow instructions, and socialise with peers.


Help your child understand how to display socially appropriate behaviours and socialise with their peers, teachers, and community.


Understand school routines, exercise self-control, employ fine and gross motor skills, abide by rules of play and many more.


Our once weekly classes are held with 3 teachers to 6 students, meaning every child gets personalised attention in a group setting. Learn and play in comfortable surrounding where safety and security is a top priority.
