How Daycare Can Help Your Child With School Readiness

MORAYFIELD, Australia - June 11, 2025 - PRLog -- Preparing children for school is about more than developing early literacy or numeracy, it's about nurturing the whole child within a connected, caring community.

One of the most powerful skills that educators help children to build is self-regulation; the ability to manage emotions, behaviour, and attention in everyday situations. But children don't learn these skills in isolation. They learn them through meaningful, responsive relationships with adults and peers.

Why Self-Regulation Matters

Self-regulation helps children:

*Focus and follow directions in a classroom setting
*Build friendships and navigate social situations
*Express feelings in appropriate ways
*Transition smoothly between activities and environments

These are essential components of school readiness. Furthermore, when children are surrounded by relationships built on trust, they build the confidence to try new things, the resilience to navigate challenges, and the self-awareness to begin the next step in their journey with purpose and joy.
