B4 Big School Programmes

At B4 big school, it all starts with supporting the children's wellbeing. We help the children learn to regulate their emotions and support their speech by helping them become more effective communicators, if children/students can learn to express themselves well then we can certainly build those important connections which will allow us to work comfortably together. We aren't just about academics, our social skills program provides a nourishing environment which has a greater impact on the overall development of child. 

At B4 big school, the children/students are involved and engaged learners. They learn the importance of starting and finishing off tasks/activities (we usually discuss the learning outcomes with the children, we explain why we are teaching certain things) and eventually they want to become independent learners because they are learning how to. This is usually the result once the children gain greater confidence.

At B4 big school, we do encourage parents to pack a piece of fruit and water bottle especially during the 2 hour school readiness program, this is aimed at supporting the children's transition to Kindergarten and supporting their well being. This is not only important for the pre-kindy children but sometimes for many of our students, this can also be a source of comfort even for the primary school students and we respect that. 

At B4 big school, we encourage the children to refer to everyone at the centre as our friend. We teach the children how to make a friend, through the use of story books, story telling through role play and by demonstrating positive behaviours as educators with one another. We also remind the children that during play and at all times, it is important to keep our hands to our selves, rather we use our words not our hands. We always resort to using positive reinforcement to ensure that we are encouraging positive behaviours and guess what....It always works!!
