First Day of School
A first day for anyone can be extremely difficult and stressful; as adults, we can rationalise the situation, and we understand the reason why we are in the new place and most importantly, when we can go home. For children, this can be difficult. In order to minimise the stress for everyone, we would encourage you to follow the steps below to ensure a smooth transition period.
The children are at the center of all we do.
On the first day, we ask that parents and caregivers offer a warm, confident goodbye at the door. A brief and positive farewell rather than a prolonged one helps your child settle in more quickly and with greater ease. We kindly ask that parents and caregivers trust in our teachers from the very beginning. Prior to the first day, we encourage families to talk with their child about what to expect at school, familiar routines and a little preparation can go a long way in helping them feel confident and ready for this exciting new chapter.
If your child has attended school before...
Even if your child has previous school experience, starting at a new school is still a fresh and unfamiliar experience for them. Every environment is different, and it's natural for children to need a little extra reassurance during this transition. To help build their confidence before the first day, we encourage parents to share pictures of the school with their child and talk through the daily routines they will be following. Familiarity with their new surroundings even before they arrive can make a wonderful difference in how settled and excited they feel walking through the door.

Our Spaces
SKY Library
Step into a world of words, wonder, and imagination at the SKY Library. This warm and inviting space is thoughtfully designed to nurture a love of reading and storytelling from the very earliest years. Children are immersed in rich language experiences through picture books, interactive storytelling sessions, and meaningful conversations that build vocabulary, comprehension, and confident communication. Here, every story opens a new door to discovery.
A Day in the Life of a Sunshine
For our confident learners aged 4 to 5 years old
Our Sunshines are radiant, capable, and full of life. At 4 to 5 years old, children are at a truly remarkable stage their language is flourishing, their friendships are deepening, their thinking is becoming more complex, and their desire to understand the world around them is simply boundless. A Sunshine doesn't just explore they investigate, create, collaborate, and lead. Every part of their day at SKY has been thoughtfully crafted to honour that growing capability, stretch their thinking, and fill their world with purpose, joy, and genuine achievement.
Sunshines arrive with energy and enthusiasm, greeting their teachers and friends with the confidence and ease that comes from feeling truly at home in their school environment. The morning begins warmly, giving children time to reconnect, settle in, and prepare for the rich day ahead.
