Kinder to Foundation Transition Program at Banyan Fields Primary School
At Banyan Fields, we understand that a child’s first year at school is an important one. Banyan Fields Foundation Teachers work closely with local kindergartens and childcare centres to create a positive start for your child and to ensure their learning journey is as smooth as possible.
Banyan Fields provides five Kinder to Foundation transition sessions as well as a morning with their Foundation class and Teacher.
