Age 3: The World of Wonder. Children begin to explore the world on their own terms, building foundational skills for the future.
Age 4: The World of Connection, where they start building relationships, learning social skills, and developing emotional awareness.
Age 5: The World of Being "School-Ready" where they are preparing for the big step, school.
It is the stage that our Preschool & School Readiness Program is designed, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and rooted in our "Oak Tree philosophy," inspired by the way an oak tree grows.
Just as the tree strengthens its roots underground before it rises, we focus on building foundations that support confident, capable learners.
Our Practical Preschool Program is Oak Tree's signature approach to preparing children for school.
