Steps to School

A preparatory program that gently transitions older children toward school readiness, routines, and emotional independence.

Steps to School bridges early childhood and formal education by helping children become confident, capable, and emotionally ready for the next stage. With a blend of structure, skill-building, and nurturing routines, this program ensures every child walks into Year 1 with enthusiasm — not fear.
