Prep4Prep School Readiness Program
The Seeds of Knowledge Prep4Prep is an award-winning program. At the 2023 What’sOn4Kids Awards, parents voted it the state’s best preschooler activity!
At Seeds of Knowledge, our philosophy is to empower children at the earliest age to love learning, see the power of learning and guide them to a successful start on their academic journey.
The kindergarten years (ages 3-5) are vital for providing a solid educational foundation for future learning. Still, we must also recognise that not all children develop in the same way or at the same time.
At Seeds of Knowledge, we want to eliminate the guesswork surrounding school readiness and help your child become confident and ready for the challenges of school, allowing them to transition seamlessly into the formal school environment.
Our Prep4Prep program is designed and delivered by experienced tutors who understand and know the demands of early childhood education.
The program will help your child:
- Be confident and comfortable with school structure and routine
- Be socially and emotionally prepared for the challenges of school, including working and playing in groups
- Know the “expected” foundation skills to have the very best start
- Have proficiency and fine motor skills, literacy and numeracy, phonemic knowledge of letter and sound recognition
- Develop deeper focus and concentration needed for learning, and follow instruction
- Look forward to school and learning
Our play-based program bridges the gap between the kindergarten and Australian Prep curricula. These vitally important skills will help to transition your child into the foundational years of their education.
The concepts covered in our comprehensive program include:
- Letter Sound Knowledge
- Fine Motor Development
- Reading Readiness
- Early Writing Skills
- Social and Emotional Literacy
- Communication and Language Development
From Our Founder
As a teacher with over 15 years of experience and a mother of two boys, I have seen firsthand preppies turn up to their first day of school in shock and awe at the new experience that awaits them. Some kids can take days or weeks to understand and settle into the school environment’s routine.
These challenges can cause unintended stress and even academic delays that may be hard to address for some children.
Seeing this in my role as a teacher, I was determined to help children avoid as much of this stress and uncertainty as possible. That’s how Seeds of Knowledge Prep4Prep came about – a program that helps concerned and caring parents prepare their kids for that all-important first day of school and beyond. It continues to give kids the support and foundations to start school with confidence and success.
We guide children to develop vital skills that will help them throughout their academic journey, including their social and emotional skills, physical skills, communication skills and cognitive skills.
Reach out today and help your child start on the right foot.
Sincerely
Lasni
Seeds of Knowledge Founder

Since starting The Prep4Prep Program, Ollie’s enthusiasm for learning new things has skyrocketed! He now has a keen curiosity for the world around him and is constantly sharing his learnings with us. Lasni has created fun and engaging activities that build on from previous weeks. Through the regular weekly sessions, Ollie is developing the skills and confidence to participate fully in lessons, and this will help to eliminate the anxiety of starting his primary school journey. We can rest assured that come the start of next year, Ollie’s new challenge of Prep will have the best beginning possible.

Leon has begun to really enjoy learning and challenging himself thanks to Seeds of Knowledge Prep4Prep program. He’s a shy boy and can take time to adjust to new things, but this program has armed him with confidence that I believe will result in a smooth transition into school.

What an absolute joy the Prep4Prep has been!
My understanding of prep readiness was quite limited plus my husband and I shared some apprehension that we would be overloading Charlie with this programme on top of Kindy. After sharing these concerns with the program director we learned about how the values of growth mindset, building confidence and curiosity are all built into this course to help assist a child become ‘prep ready’. We decided to enrol Charlie and we couldn’t be more happy.
The class has become her favourite part of the week and she comes home so energised. We absolutely love listening to her rattle off everything she has learned and hearing her utilise the language of growth mindset in her daily life. As parents, we felt so supported from the team at Seeds of Knowledge and like Charlie, we feel totally confident about being Prep ready.
