A School Readiness Seminar for Early Learning Centres

Baby Steps to Kindergarten is a one-hour, evidence-informed seminar designed to support early learning centres in confidently guiding families through the transition to school.

​

Delivered by experienced early childhood educator and school readiness specialist Kirsten Leo, the seminar equips parents with clear, practical, and developmentally appropriate guidance around starting school - while reinforcing the messages and practices already in place within your centre.

​

Each seminar is tailored to your centre’s community, supporting educators and leadership teams to deliver consistent, best-practice school readiness messaging and to facilitate informed, honest conversations with families.

 

Educators may also nominate their participation as teacher-identified professional development toward NSW Teacher Accreditation requirements.

​

​

​

 

 

Seminars can be delivered in-centre (metropolitan Sydney) or online via Zoom, offering flexibility for your service and families.

​

Seminar focus areas include:

  • Current research around school starting age and readiness

  • When to consider delaying school entry - and when not to

  • Understanding school expectations and readiness beyond academics

  • What children truly need before starting Kindergarten

  • The role of parents and educators in supporting a smooth transition

  • Practical strategies families can implement at home to support development

​

Grounded in a child-centred lens, the seminar explores school readiness through the child’s lived experience and provides families with a clear, practical understanding of the developmental skills that support a confident start to Kindergarten.

​

By hosting Baby Steps to Kindergarten, centres strengthen family engagement, align readiness messaging, and support smoother, more confident transitions from early learning to school.
