Pals Program

PALS Social Skills Program has been designed by clinical psychologists and early childhood teachers for children from 3 to six years of age. It is a 10 week program that incorporates puppets, pictures, songs and activities to enhance their understanding of feelings and how to be a friend.

Music Magic

Music Magic focuses on the fundamental musical concepts, including stopping and starting, sound texture, beat, tempo, dynamics, pitch and rhythm.  The educator and the children explore the concepts together and these are brought alive through musical play involving games, singing, movement, playing and improvising on instruments and conducting. The songs and games encourage active listening and participation for groups and for the individual child.

Letterland - Successfully teaching your child to read and write

Letterland is a unique, phonics based approach to teaching, reading, writing and spelling for 3-8 year olds. Letterland provides a link between letter sounds and letter shapes.

At Wallaby Street Weenies  we believe it is essential that our preschool children are given a solid foundation in phonics before moving to primary school. Letterland helps to build this foundation in a unique play based way.

Your preschool child has free access to computers at Wallaby Street Weenies. This well established and successful system will help teach your child
