Beginning school is an exciting life transition for children and their families. It is a time of fantastic adjustment that can be both stimulating and exciting. There will be new roles, relationships, interactions, identities and expectations.
\n\n\n\n
Each child’s preparation and starting points will be different. Every child is an individual with their own needs. The Teachers at Ardmona take this into consideration when planning educational programs for their students.
\n\n\n\n
If this is your first child starting school it will be with great expectations and excitement. Your role as your child’s ‘first teacher’ will not end. We encourage parents to continue to be an integral part of their child’s education by supporting educational programs and be a part of a team together with teachers to strive for achievement.
\n\n\n\n
We look forward to sharing this happy and rewarding time together!
