Celebrations

Readiness teachers and staff provide a dynamic roster of events to support our preschoolers and their parents and caregivers.

All events use elements of multi-sensory play, a proven approach that helps develop the children's cognitive, fine, gross motor, speech, and language skills as they interact with their teachers and peers in a fun and nurturing environment.
 
Supporting parents and caregivers, Readiness staff serve as a valuable resource by hosting educational events, showcasing class projects and activities, and providing insights into the teaching methodologies used in the classroom.

Staff remain in contact with families and caregivers throughout the year, and frequently share activities to continue supporting the children's learning and development at home.
