F.A.Q.
When my child starts Shining Minds what do they need to bring and what do they get?
They need to bring their bottle of water and their snack ? NO NUTS
They also need to bring their Shining Minds Tote bag and scrap book which we give them on their first day.
What attention do you give for children who are finding it difficult to separate from their parent at the start of joining the Program?
We would prefer if you leave for your child to get the most out of the program. You will appreciate that the children find it overwhelming when they have a lots of eyes watching over them. However, you are most welcome to stay for the first 15 minutes, especially to support your child in feeling comfortable on their own.
You can then go and have a coffee or go shopping or for a walk. We will call you at any time we feel your child is distressed for you to come back. We want both you and your child to feel confident with them staying in class by themselves.
Why is a literacy program beneficial for my child before they start school?
Your child is introduced to a classroom with little tables and chairs and is socialised with other children in a learning environment.
Your child will be taught the Alphabet names and their sounds and how to blend, segment and decode words.
We read our Little Learner Readers and trace the Capital and Lower Case letters of the Alphabet.
Your child will begin school with knowledge on how to read words and sentences as well as know how to use a book.
This is one less problem for them when they begin school, therefore they can focus on all the other things they need to learn in Term One and feel confident in Literacy.
Will they be bored in their first year of starting school?
No, not at all, in fact they will be eager to learn new things including routines and feel very confident in Literacy.
Do you support students with special needs?
Absolutely! The approach is language-based, multi-sensory, structured and sequential. ?Most importantly, the approach is flexible, ensuring genuine learning, rather than rote learning.
