I Feel Anxious About My Child Starting School

Updated: May 28

Today, I want to address a common concern that many parents experience: feeling anxious about their child starting school. Rest assured, you're not alone in your worries, and at Tightrope Learning, we're here to support you every step of the way.


Understanding Your Anxiety

The transition to school is a significant milestone for both children and parents alike. It's natural to feel anxious about your child going to school. You may worry about whether they'll make friends, if they'll cope with the academic demands, or if they'll feel overwhelmed in a new environment. These concerns are perfectly normal, and it's essential to acknowledge and address them as you prepare for this exciting journey.


How Tightrope Learning Can Help

At Tightrope Learning, we understand the importance of providing a supportive and nurturing environment to help ease the transition to school. Our school readiness program is specifically designed to prepare children for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their educational journey. Learn about us and how we can help ease your worries:


Comprehensive School Readiness Curriculum

Our curriculum is carefully crafted to cover all aspects of school readiness, including cognitive, social-emotional, language, and physical development. Through a combination of structured activities and playful learning experiences, we provide children with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in school and beyond.


Experienced and Caring Educators

Our team of educators are not only highly qualified professionals but also compassionate individuals who genuinely care about the well-being and success of each child. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe, supported, and valued.


Individualised Attention

We recognise that every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and learning styles. That's why we take a personalised approach to education, tailoring our program to meet the individual needs of each child. Whether your child needs extra support in a particular area or is ready to be challenged further, we'll adapt our approach to ensure their success.


Focus on Social-Emotional Development

We understand that a child's emotional well-being is just as important as their academic achievement. That's why we place a strong emphasis on social-emotional development as well as mindfulness and wellbeing. This teaches children essential skills such as empathy, communication, and problem-solving. By nurturing their emotional intelligence, we help children build resilience and confidence as they navigate the ups and downs of school life.
