Don't Let Your Child Start School Unprepared and Fall Behind
No more hoping they’ll “figure it out” once school starts. This 12-week program gives them the skills they need - before they ever walk into a classroom.
Starting formal school can be both an exciting and daunting experience for parents, especially if your child has language or communication delays. That pit in your stomach isn't just first-day jitters—it's legitimate concern about whether your child can succeed in a system that isn't designed for their needs.
You've already seen the signs at home.
The tears of frustration when they can’t find the words.
The way they shut down when they can’t make themselves understood.
The playground interactions that end before they begin because your child can’t keep up with the rapid conversations of their peers.
Now imagine that struggle magnified in a classroom of 25 children with just one teacher.
Will your child be able to understand complex instructions?
Will they make any friends during lunch breaks?
Will they find the words to ask for help when they’re confused or – worse – when something is wrong?
These aren’t just passing worries – they’re the thoughts that jolt you awake at 3 AM as their first day of school looms closer.
Our School Readiness Program was created specifically for children like yours. Developed through the collaborative expertise of an experienced early years educator and a speech pathologist who understand the unique challenges of language delays, this intensive 12-week program targets the exact skills your child desperately needs before facing the demands of Prep.
What Your Child Will Gain
from This Program
What Your Child Will Gain from This Program
What if we told you that up to 90% of children with persistent language problems at age five have poor literacy outcomes when tested ten years later?
Let that sink in.
If your child struggles to express themselves clearly now, they aren’t just facing a challenging first year of school—they’re at risk of falling behind in ways that could affect their entire educational journey. You’re standing at the edge of this window right now. Soon it will close, and the opportunity to address these foundational skills becomes exponentially harder.
This is about your child potentially:
- Being labeled as "slow" or "difficult" when they simply can't process instructions
- Withdrawing socially as the communication gap between them and peers widens
- Developing anxiety or behavioral issues from the daily frustration of not being understood
- Falling behind in reading and writing—a gap that compounds year after year
- Losing their natural curiosity and love of learning when school becomes a source of stress
Most parents hope their child's foundation will enable them to withstand the rigors of their first year of school and see them thrive. But when your child struggles with language, hope isn't enough - they need strategic intervention before that classroom door opens.
The Comprehensive Solution
Your Child Desperately Needs
Developed By Lorna Muthamia - An Expert Who Understands Your Child's Daily Struggles
Our program wasn’t created by theorists with textbook knowledge – it was developed by Lorna Muthamia, a speech pathologist who has worked with countless children facing the exact challenges your child experiences every day, in collaboration with an experienced early years educator.
Lorna has witnessed firsthand the frustration when a child can’t express their needs, the quiet withdrawal from activities that become too difficult, the mounting anxiety as school approaches and the widening gap between them and their age-matched peers. More importantly, she’s discovered precisely what works to transform these struggles into strengths before your child ever sets foot in a classroom.
A Transformative 12-Week Journey To School Readiness
The School Readiness Program delivers powerful results in just 12 weeks—the critical window of time before your child starts Prep. Each week builds upon the last, systematically developing the essential skills your child needs most.
No more focusing just on alphabet names, colors and counting skills while overlooking the crucial micro-skills that make the real difference. Traditional “school readiness” approaches miss these entirely, leaving children with language delays vulnerable and unprepared.
Our weekly activities target exactly what your child struggles with most—turning what would become classroom barriers into bridges to success through engaging, confidence-building exercises you can easily implement at home.
Six Essential Pillars Targeted With Precision
Our comprehensive approach targets the exact areas children with language delays fall dangerously behind:
Communication & Language:
Without these foundational skills, your child will struggle to understand even basic teacher instructions or express when they’re confused, hurt, or need help. They might spend their school days in silent confusion, unable to participate in the learning happening around them.
Pre-Literacy:
If these skills aren’t developed before school starts, your child faces an uphill battle with reading that grows steeper each year. As other children effortlessly advance through reading levels, your child risks falling further behind with each passing month, making catching up nearly impossible.
Social & Emotional Development:
Children who can’t communicate effectively often lack the confidence or skills to deal with stress. Stress at this age can be cooperating with others, adapting to abrupt routine changes or structured routines or even separating from parents at drop offs, coping with transitions .
Numeracy:
Mathematical concepts build on each other relentlessly. Missing early foundations means your child could struggle with math throughout their education, limiting future opportunities in countless careers and creating a lifelong sense of “I’m just not good at math.”
Social Studies:
Without early support in understanding social dynamics, children can quickly feel overwhelmed in a classroom setting. Some withdraw. Others act out. Often, these first behaviors earn labels that stick, shaping how every new teacher views them. Introducing age-appropriate social studies early builds understanding of community, routines, and roles. It sparks curiosity, encourages respect, and strengthens critical thinking, helping kids enter school confident, engaged, and ready to connect learning with real life.
Physical Development:
Fine motor skills impact everything from writing to self care. Children who struggle here often face frustration and embarrassment when they can’t complete classroom activities that seem effortless to their peers.
Every week, Lorna provides exactly what your child needs most: targeted activities they’ll actually enjoy, clear development goals, and ways to measure progress. Don’t risk your child’s entire educational future by missing this critical preparation window. The difference between a child who thrives and one who struggles often comes down to addressing these six areas before school begins.

Now, You Are One Step Away From Making A Future-Altering Decision
Ask yourself:
- Is your child currently aged 4-5 years and attending kindergarten?
- Will they soon be entering Prep (the grade before Year 1)?
- Do they show signs of language or communication challenges?
- Are you concerned about their readiness for formal/mainstream learning?
Ask yourself:
- Is your child currently aged 4-5 years and attending kindergarten?
- Will they soon be entering Prep (the grade before Year 1)?
- Do they show signs of language or communication challenges?
- Are you concerned about their readiness for formal/mainstream learning?
If you answered yes to these questions, your child could be at risk of starting school already behind their peers—facing an uphill battle that grows steeper with each passing day. Research shows that children who begin school with language delays typically don’t “catch up” naturally. Instead, they often fall further behind as classroom demands increase and the gap between them and their peers widens.
Which path will you choose?
Your child’s first year of school shouldn’t feel like a struggle. With the right preparation, they’ll walk into Prep feeling confident, capable, and ready to learn.
