Little Flyers

Little Flyers Program

The Little Flyers Program is designed to support children and their families as they prepare to begin their school journey at LNPS. Starting school is an exciting milestone, and this program aims to make the transition into school life as smooth, positive, and familiar as possible.

Little Flyers provides children with opportunities to become comfortable within the school environment while gradually developing familiarity with school routines, expectations, and learning spaces. By spending time in the school setting before their official start, children are able to build confidence and develop a sense of belonging within the LNPS community.

Through a range of engaging and play-based learning experiences, children are encouraged to explore, interact, and develop important early learning skills. The program focuses on nurturing children’s social, emotional, and communication development while supporting their growing independence as learners.

Little Flyers also provides an opportunity for families to begin building relationships within the school community. Families are able to meet other children and parents who will be starting school together, helping to create supportive connections that can continue into the early years of schooling.

The program offers valuable opportunities for children and families to:

• Become familiar with the school environment, classrooms, and learning spaces
• Experience school routines and expectations in a supportive and relaxed setting
• Build relationships with peers, staff, and other families
• Establish connections within the LNPS community
• Develop oral language, communication, and social interaction skills
• Strengthen confidence, independence, and a positive attitude toward learning

Each Little Flyers session includes a variety of thoughtfully planned activities that support children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Experiences are designed to be engaging, hands-on, and responsive to children’s interests.

Activities may include:

• Story time and shared reading, encouraging listening, comprehension, and a love of books
• Arts and crafts, supporting creativity, fine motor development, and self-expression
• Music and movement, promoting coordination, rhythm, and enjoyment of learning through song and play
• Play-based learning experiences, where children can explore, imagine, and develop social skills through cooperative play
• Group games and discussions, helping children practise turn-taking, communication, and problem-solving

These experiences aim to spark curiosity, build enthusiasm for learning, and support children as they begin to see themselves as capable and confident learners.

By providing a welcoming, supportive, and engaging introduction to school life, the Little Flyers program helps children and families feel connected, prepared, and excited for the start of their educational journey at LNPS.
