Transitioning from kindergarten to school?

Attending a kindergarten program helps children and families lay the foundations for future learning, but what happens when they go to school?

Starting school affects the whole family. The Early Learning Association has provided an informative sheet for families. Download it here: https://elaa.org.au/.../03/Tipsheet-KindertoSchool_P1.pdf.

Huge thanks to Jasper Steeds and Shannon Jones from for their session at Cheshire School! Lots of sunshine, movement and smiles from all students. Shannon (Captain) and Jasper (Vice Captain) play for the St Kilda AFL Blind team and work at the club in education inclusion. This was such a great initiative for our students and staff.

This NAIDOC Week marks 50 years of celebrating the rich culture, history, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
At bestchance Early Years services, our children have been immersed in meaningful play-based learning experiences, connecting with first nation culture through creative arts, music, and storytelling.
Using natural materials, Aboriginal symbols, and traditional instruments, our educators have created opportunities for children to explore, express, and build respect for Aboriginal culture and traditions, fostering powerful learning moments that connect new generations to ancient wisdom. 💛 ❤️ 🖤

This week, children across bestchance - from Early Years services to Cheshire School and Children’s Therapy Service - are celebrating Book Week 2024.
Through shared reading moments with our educators, teachers and therapists, children are embarking on imaginative journeys, exploring new worlds, meeting fascinating characters, and discovering the joy of books.
Thank you to our wonderful team for creating these magical storytime experiences that inspire a lifelong love of reading. 💛
📖 What’s a favourite story you love to share with your child?

🌱 What a wonderful day of learning and growing together!
Children from Chandler Kindergarten joined at Frederick Wachter Reserve for a special tree planting session. They not only helped plant trees but also learned from the council rangers about native animals, their habits, and how we can protect our local environment.
👏 A big well done to our amazing children for helping to make our community greener and better for everyone!
💙 Thank you to for such an engaging and inspiring day!
