🎒 Transitioning to Prep – Pre-recorded online Parent Webinar

Starting school is a big milestone — for children and parents. And while there’s no manual for it, the right support can make all the difference.

Our online pre-recorded PD session, Transitioning to School: Preparing Parents and Children for a Confident Start, is designed to help parents better understand what children experience when starting Prep.

In this session, we explore:
✔ What to expect in the first term
✔ Separation anxiety and adjustment
✔ Morning, goodbye, and after-school routines
✔ Supporting independence
✔ When to seek extra support

This practical and supportive session is available to watch anytime, at your convenience.

Let’s help our children start school feeling safe, confident, and supported 💛

Is your child anxious about going to school? Clingy at drop-off? Already saying “I don’t want to go”?

The transition to Prep can bring big emotions — for kids and parents. Separation anxiety, meltdowns, sleep disruptions, and worries about “not knowing anyone” are incredibly common… but that doesn’t mean you have to navigate them alone.
Our practical, evidence-informed one-off webinar will give you clear, supportive strategies to help your child start school with confidence.

In this session, you’ll learn:
✔️ What to expect in Term One
✔️ How to manage separation anxiety
✔️ Simple routines that build confidence and security
✔️ What’s typical — and when to seek extra support

If you want calmer mornings, smoother goodbyes, and a child who feels safe and capable stepping into school, this webinar is for you.
