MORE THAN TRADITIONAL SCHOOL READINESS

Starting Prep involves more than letters, numbers, and classroom routines.

Kindergarten and school orientation help children become familiar with learning, places, people and routines. These experiences provide an important introduction to what school may look and feel like.

Get Ready for Prep complements that preparation by supporting the mental, social, and emotional side of starting school. It gives children practical opportunities to build confidence and belonging, understand their feelings, communicate with others, respond when plans change and discover ways to rest and care for themselves. These foundations can continue supporting children as the transition unfolds during their early days and weeks of Prep.

SIX PREP TRANSITION WELLBEING ADVENTURES

Across six playful adventures, children explore and practice mental, social, and emotional skills that support their transition into Prep

WHAT CHILDREN WILL EXPERIENCE

Playful movement, games, and challenges.

Practical rehearsal and mindfulness.

Stories, discussion, and creative activities.

Each session supports the whole child through the Standing Strong pillars of a STRONG Body (movement), STRONG Mind (mindset) and STRONG Heart (mindfulness).

PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES

Each week, families receive practical resources to continue conversations and practice at home in simple, manageable ways.

They help parents understand what their child has been learning, use shared language at home and reinforce strategies in everyday moments. Families can return to the resources before school begins, during the first weeks of Prep and whenever a particular transition challenge arises.

This helps the learning travel beyond the weekly sessions and gives families practical ways to support the transition as it unfolds.

The program runs for 6 weeks, with sessions held on a Monday or Friday morning from 9:30-10:30am. This schedule is designed to accommodate your child’s routine while providing an engaging and consistent learning experience.

We maintain small class sizes to ensure individualised attention and a nurturing environment. Each session accommodates a maximum of 8 children, allowing us to focus on every child’s needs.

All sessions will be run by our Founder, Jayme Harrison, who is a mum herself and understands the challenges and triumphs of kids starting school. She is a youth coach and Internationally Coaching Federation trained Master Life Coach and Master Neurolinguistic Programming practitioner. Jayme is doing her Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy and has over 20 years working with people with the last 2+ years focused on supporting families and children.

All necessary materials and supplies will be provided by Teacup Coach. You only need to provide a water bottle for your child, and perhaps a little curiosity and enthusiasm.

We understand that every child is unique. Jayme is skilled at creating a supportive and encouraging environment where kids feel motivated and excited about each session. Our program is designed to be interactive, engaging and lots of fun. There will be a variety of activities to cater to different learning styles. If your child feels uncomfortable, we’ll support them to adjust and feel at ease as much as possible. Also, class sizes are small to ensure we can be there to support all children. 

The program is designed for independent participation however, we understand that leaving your child is a big step, and we want you to feel comfortable and assured. During our program sessions, you’re more than welcome to be nearby while your child participates. The venue has a covered space just outside where you are welcome to sit. The Brew Moon cafe is also only a few minutes walk from the venue.

We take your child’s health or special requirements seriously. If your child has any requirements, please ensure they are included in the registration form or reach out to us separately, and we will discuss appropriate arrangements.

We believe in transparent communication. For the last 5 minutes of every session, we invite parents back for a short presentation on what the kids did. This is an opportunity for your child to show you what they did and assist you to continue the learnings at home.

Yes. We encourage continuing the learnings your child receives in the session at home. At the end of each session, we email parents home resources for continuing the learning adventure. These resources help foster the skills and concepts covered during the program.

We value parent involvement and offer occasional parent-child engagement where you can join your child in selected activities. This fosters a sense of collaboration and support your child’s learning adventure. We will advise you in advance when these sessions are. As mentioned previously, parents will also be invited back for the last 5 minutes of each session for a short presentation on what the kids did.

We understand that life can be unpredictable. While regular attendance is encouraged for a consistent experience, we can discuss options if unexpected situations arise.
