School Readiness Program
Our School Readiness Program is designed for children ready for kindergarten, whether they meet typical developmental milestones or have delays. It’s a great fit for kids who will soon start school and want to learn in a group setting with plenty of adult support.
Here’s what the program offers:
– Simulates a school environment in a small group (3-5 kids) to boost your child’s skills.
– Helps your child get used to the structured routine they’ll experience in school.
– Provides a supportive social setting with a high adult-to-child ratio to improve social and play skills.
– Encourages children to use both verbal and non-verbal language to communicate their needs.
– Develops appropriate social behaviours and emotional control.
– Enhances finger strength and handwriting.
– Strengthens your child’s muscle coordination and balance.
What is Developmental Milestones and Developmental Delay?
Developmental milestones are markers that show the expected skills a child should develop as they grow. We assess your child’s progress in:
– Physical abilities
– Social skills
– Emotional skills
– Thinking abilities
– Language skills
This evaluation is based on the skills typical for their age (Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority, 2018).
Children with developmental delays struggle with everyday activities that are usually easy for others their age. They may need extra help with speaking, walking, focusing, and playing (National Disability Insurance Scheme, 2024 March 28). Our School Readiness Group Program at Diversey Care offers specialized group support to these children, using a team of experts to enhance their development.

How the program is going to help your child?
Here are five unique advantages our School Readiness Program can provide to your child and prepare them for school:
In a 3-hour session, your child will see at least 2 specialists at a fraction of the 1v1 NDIS rate.
- We use a multidisciplinary team to facilitate our program, bring together various specialists like Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and Psychologists. This diverse expertise ensures holistic development in areas such as physical abilities, social skills, emotional regulation, thinking skills, and language.
The program reduces anxiety and regulates their emotion in activities kids enjoy.
- Our strengths-based approach highlights and builds on what your child does best. By recognizing your child's unique strengths and interests, we tailor activities that foster their confidence and abilities, making learning more effective and enjoyable.
We coordinate with other health professionals to develop personalised plans that work best for your child.
- The person-centred approach in our program means we look at your child's individual needs and preferences. We create a personalized developmental plan that respects your child's perspective and directly addresses their specific needs and potential barriers.

- Our program is designed to smooth your child's transition into kindergarten or school. By developing essential school-readiness skills and adapting to your child’s learning style, we help ease the move to a more structured learning environment.
