Early Explorers 

Background

This is a programme where children have the opportunity to be part of the New Entrant programme that St Gerard’s has to offer. It is for children already enrolled at our school or for families thinking about St Gerard’s as their school of choice. This is an opportunity for children to get to know Mrs Flannery and become familiar with the regular routines and events of a school morning while getting to meet peers.

Early Explorers will take place on Thursday mornings from 8.30-11am for 10 weeks prior to a child beginning school.

During this programme the focus will be on the following:
  • Emotional readiness
  • Social routines
  • Organization and manipulative skills
  • Gross and fine motor skills
  • Early language and numeracy knowledge
 
What We Need From Parents?
  • A commitment to bring children on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
  • To bring them to school and take them back to their learning centre or give permission for staff to return them on your behalf.
  • To make caregivers aware of what we are offering

We Would Love to Have You Visit St Gerard's Soon!
