Here is some information about our key focusses:

All about Teddy:

The focus is on Teddy, who is going to start school in September. He starts the week with a story to tell and a problem he needs help to solve. Children learn through the stories Teddy tells. Using a character as the focus gives children the opportunity to engage with their own journey at their own pace. This is great for those who are anxious about starting school as they will be able to see how Teddy prepares without feeling the pressure on themselves.

Safe challenge:

Every session is carefully planned to teach and explore skills needed to find success at school. Many of these are social skills which, in order to for children learn well, require experience and the opportunity to test out different behaviours, reactions and outcomes. Children and parents are given ideas to stimulate discussion and play at home. They will explore what happens in everyday situations, have the chance to discuss the challenge and use this as a valuable experience to draw upon at a later date.

Parent/Carers are fully involved:

The sessions are planned to support parents to get ready for school as much as children. Each session includes an ‘Adult Guide’ explaining the focus of the session, what your child can learn and what the expectation will be at school.

We want to create a community for parents going through this journey together and using the Facebook Group we will offer information and top tips via pre-recorded and live sessions. We are also availble to support you directly and can be contacted via email or social media messaging. If you have a concern about your child’s starting school journey we are here to help.
