Evidence-based instruction (EBI) involves classroom methods consistent with the most reliable scientific evidence instead of personal preferences, traditions, social media trends, or other external factors. EBI consists of practices that are consistently linked to positive learning results.
Our learning programs at SKYLAS are all based on EBI with a strong focus on the ‘science of reading’. We also ensure all learning is suitable for early years with a hands-on approach to activities, as per the recommended approach which aligns to the current Kindergarten curriculum for which we are preparing the children.
3-4 Years – minimum 1-2 days per week, depending on your child’s learning mode.

We ensure every child settles in at their own pace. We have a parent waiting room where you can visibly view your child’s learning whilst they know you are close by.
Or alternatively if your child is better engaged with you in the classroom, we invite you to join in on the learning tasks so your child can feel comfortable.
God is at the centre of all our learning. The children are reminded of our Catholic Faith during daily prayer and faith discussions and teaching during lunchtime. We explore stories of the Bible and practise our daily acts of kindness towards our family, friends and school community.
Good indicators to assist with your decision is starting at SKYLAS are when your child is independent in toileting and no longer requiring a day sleep every day. (If your child does still have a day sleep, then a shorter day is recommended to meet their needs).
We also provide a pre-assesment session which can assist with understanding their academic abilities and learning mode.
