About the Program

Prep 4 Success is a school readiness program designed for children in their final year of preschool or childcare. The program supports the transition to school by building essential academic, social, and emotional skills through a blend of structured learning and play-based experiences.

Grounded in the Early Years Learning Framework and aligned with NSW Early Stage 1 outcomes for English and Mathematics, the program has been developed using educational research, teacher feedback, and real-world classroom observations.
