Kangaroo Room
Our school readiness program is implemented into the rhythm of the day which the children are preparing for kindergarten the whole year round in the Kangaroo room. Transition to big school is a long process where the educators prepare the children mentally, physically and academically.

Well-being – Social Development
The educators collaborate with the senior preschoolers in the Kangaroo room to feel supported, connected and evolve their learning socially, emotionally, physically as they get ready to transit to kindergarten. We encourage the children develop independence and responsibility throughout real-life experience and activities.
Physical Development
At Little Penguin ELC, we support the senior preschoolers in developing their gross and fine motor skills. We equip your child with the skills required as he or she transits to formal schooling.
Language and Literacy Development
We support the graduating children at Little Penguin ELC to become confident speakers who are able to share their thoughts and opinions. Our educators plan for experiences to support the children’s early literacy development such as letter name and sound recognition through games and experiences.
Individual Goals
- School Readiness
At Little Penguins ELC, our school readiness program focuses on building the necessary skills and building a strong foundation for learning. This prepares the senior preschoolers for their transition into school and the next stages of their lives.
- Values and Learning Dispositions
Little Penguin ELC strongly believes in the importance of inculcating positive learning dispositions such as perseverance, curiosity, integrity and resilience in our young children to set the children up for life.
- Home-school partnerships
Our educators reach out to parents frequently to share about the children’s progress and discuss about individual goals to support the senior preschoolers in achieving as they transit to school.
