It’s Primary Time!

Hearts out to all the preschoolers (and grown-ups!) experiencing their first primary school transition visits in NSW this week. May you all be safely exploring the joy of belonging to a new community of learning!

It’s Primary Time is Smidgen Group's neurodiversity-affirming approach to school readiness. No red-flags, no checklists - it's collaborative training and support for carers and educators - focused on: 

• Discovering your strengths and supports

• Shaping your routines

• Assembling your village

• Celebrating your progress

Also available as an individualised speech therapy program for preschoolers.
