About the Program

The School Readiness Program provides a relaxed, fun, supportive and stimulating environment in which parents and carers can engage with their child in a range of purposeful and modified play based learning experiences. The program caters for the needs of young children with disabilities, developmental delays and additional learning needs, a formal diagnosis is not required. Our program is child-centred and based on individual children’s development and learning needs, and is run by our kindergarten teacher and an education assistant.

The program provides a wonderful opportunity to network and interact with other families who may be undergoing similar challenges. Parents and carers can share experiences and learn from one another. It may help some families who are experiencing difficulty in accessing appropriate support services.

Roseworth ESC has partnered with the Child and Parent Centre (CPC), which provides services to the community for children 0-8 and runs several playgroups at the Roseworth site. Children attending our School Readiness Program are invited to attend one of the playgroups run by the CPC in addition to our program.
