At The Early Learning Centre we work with your family to ensure that the transition is a smooth one – from the first day where we provide information on what to expect, to the daily reports that let you know how your child’s day was. The Site Director will even send you an email before the end of the day if your child has a “wow” moment that they think you might want to know about.

It helps children identify letters of the alphabet by name, shape and sound. This in turn helps them get ready to take the next step into reading, or helps those who already read short works.
