🎓 From Little Steps to Big School: Celebrating Our Graduates at Willunga Child Care Centre

Supporting Confident Transitions to Primary School in Quakers Hill

Graduation season is always a special and emotional time at Willunga Child Care Centre & Preschool. It marks the end of one beautiful chapter and the beginning of an exciting new journey — big school.

From tiny first days in care to confident, curious learners ready for primary school, we are incredibly proud of every child graduating from Willunga. Watching them grow socially, emotionally, and academically has been a privilege for our educators and families alike.

🌱 Preparing Children for Big School — The Willunga Way

At Willunga, school readiness is about more than worksheets. We focus on building the whole child, ensuring they feel confident, capable, and excited about learning.

Our school readiness program supports children in developing:

• ✔ Independence and self-help skills
• ✔ Confidence in social situations and friendships
• ✔ Early literacy and numeracy foundations
• ✔ Listening, focus, and group participation skills
• ✔ Emotional regulation and resilience

Through structured learning, play-based experiences, and nurturing educator relationships, children leave Willunga ready for the routines and expectations of school — without losing their love of learning.

🎒 More Than a Graduation — A Milestone to Remember

Our graduation celebrations are designed to honour each child’s unique journey. From wearing their graduation hats to sharing special moments with friends, educators, and families, it’s a day filled with:

• Smiles and proud moments
• Reflection on how far each child has come
• Excitement for the next adventure ahead

Graduation is not just about moving on — it’s about celebrating growth, confidence, and readiness.

🤍 Strong Educator Relationships That Make a Difference

One of the most important parts of a successful transition to school is emotional security. At Willunga, our long-standing educators build strong, trusting relationships with children and families, helping each child feel safe, supported, and understood.

These connections help children step into school with confidence — knowing they are capable and valued.

🏫 A Community That Grows Together

As a family-owned centre serving the Quakers Hill community, we take great pride in supporting local families through every stage of early childhood. Seeing our graduates walk through the gates of their new schools is a moment we share deeply with parents.

To our graduating children:
You will always be part of the Willunga family 💛
