The B4 Big School Story
We support the transition to Kindergarten, giving children the best start!
We support the Primary school years helping the students to gain greater confidence with their literacy and numeracy learning.
Located in Campbelltown.
Our unique approach, interactive program and specialised educators is what differentiates B4 big school
In 2004 Mrs S (Ms Nadia) started teaching in the early childhood setting and later in 2010 transitioned into the primary school years.
"I noticed a huge gap (socially/emotionally and academically), in the classrooms especially in the kindergarten year so several years later in
April 2017, I thought it was time to begin the ONE AND ONLY...
B4 big school". An Early Intervention Program - focusing on the early foundation skills using Interactive teaching playful methods. We called this the Interactive School Readiness Program.
Several months later B4 made it's way into the Primary School Tutoring age groups as we began supporting the children - pre-kindy right through to year 5 (3.5 to 10.5 years), guiding each child’s unique learning and developmental journey.
Ms Nadia and the team (mentored by Ms Nadia) are proud to offer trusted support delivered with compassion, patience and expertise. We understand that every child learns differently and this is why we tailor our teaching to each learner’s strengths - needs/challenges.
​
Working in true partnership with parents and families, we support a successful transition into Kindergarten and help children navigate the early primary school years. By combining academic teachings with social–emotional mentoring - coaching, we help reduce anxiety, build resilience and create confident, motivated learners helping them reach their full potential. ​

The learning support is fostered with the help of our caring and passionate educators at B4 big school.
At B4, we celebrate every bit of achievement (STRENGTH) and we support every child's individual's (NEED). Our attitude is... "You will get there, it's okay, we can work together!" Our team provides the place and space for personal growth, supporting most importantly each child's attention span, learning the basic early foundation skills, which leads to building greater confidence into the your child's most important school year....(Kindergarten - big school can be a sensitive period for your child).
Some students continue to find their first few years of primary school a bit challenging so they may require some close face to face teaching support. Our small group based learning environment is highly effective as we provide an INTERACTIVE teaching approach - using visuals and a step by step process, tasks are adjusted to suit the student's level of learning.
Once the student's begin to understand their tasks they gain greater confidence and they are able to move forward by knowing that YES, they can eventually complete tasks on their own.
We highly encourage revision - practising tasks at home even if it's for 5-10mins, during weekdays after school.
