School Readiness program
Here at Cuddlepie, we offer a school readiness program guided by play based learning approach. Academic skills including literacy, counting and mathematical concepts can be learnt through play without the pressure of rigid regimes. Play is central to child’s learning and development. It is one of the most important ways children build knowledge and skills across all areas of development. We support children with opportunities to build their imagination, try new things, express themselves and refine motors skills. This helps them develop resilience and self-assurance that is important for school readiness and their future.
