Leah offers three options to access this support - an in person presentation, an online self-paced course, and a children’s picture book with many helpful suggestions at the back for parents/guardians.
Presentation
An informative presentation to parents at your Early Childcare Centre before starting school.
​
Create a sense of community by making it a social occasion at your centre - a great learning opportunity for teaching staff too. Connect in a relaxed setting beyond the drop-off rush, while helping parents feel confident and prepared.
Sessions are usually held on a weeknight or weekend at your centre.​

Allow 1 hour, $150
Online Course
A self-paced, online course to help you feel prepared and embrace the school transition.​
This course is perfect if you can’t attend a live presentation or need something that fits around your busy schedule. Complete it at your own pace, from the comfort of home. It covers the same content as the in-person session.

Book

The more your child knows about school before they begin, the more confident and secure they will feel on day one. Enjoy this book together as you follow Riley and Alex on their first day at school. At the back, you'll find practical tips and thoughtful suggestions to support your child.
