If you've got a child starting big school in a few weeks, check our Cradle to Career's 2 week challenge, to help prepare them so they feel ready and confident! They'll be sharing tips and challenges each day over the next few weeks ⭐
Tomorrow we’re starting our 14-Day Countdown to School — and we’d love you to join us!
We know that getting ready for a new school year can feel like a big change for children and families. New routines, earlier mornings, new experiences and lots of emotions can all take a little time to adjust to. That’s why we’re using these next 14 days to take things one small step at a time. 💚
Over the next two weeks, Rachael and Clare will be sharing daily tips, simple ideas and fun little challenges to help your family feel more prepared and confident for the return to school.
🌙 Routine – sleep, bedtime and morning routines
🍎 Healthy habits – easy ideas for meals and snacks
💚 Emotional wellbeing – supporting big feelings, confidence and independence
🎒 School readiness – practical ways to prepare for the transition
⭐ Daily challenges – quick and fun activities the whole family can get involved with
You don’t need to do everything perfectly, and you certainly don’t need to have it all figured out! Small steps each day can make a big difference and help your child feel settled, confident and ready for their new school adventure.
So, tomorrow is Day 1! 🥳
Follow along each day, get involved with the challenges and share your progress with us. Let’s make the countdown positive, exciting and full of confidence!
