School Readiness (5 - 6 Years)

The School Readiness Program is a comprehensive preparation year for children aged 5 to 6 who are about to begin primary school. The focus extends beyond academic skills to include independence, responsibility, social adaptation, and emotional readiness.

At ForestKids, our goal is to ensure that children complete their early childhood education as confident learners who embrace challenges, think creatively, and feel secure in new environments.

Academic Preparation

• Activities that build early reading and writing skills
• Mathematics experiences that use numbers in meaningful, real-life contexts
• Science projects that encourage observation, prediction, experimentation, and reflection
• Writing practice and detailed drawing to strengthen fine motor development

These learning experiences support attention, concentration, and task completion—all essential skills for success in primary school. Learning remains playful, purposeful, and project-based to ensure that children stay motivated and engaged.

Outdoor Learning and Life Skills

Nature continues to play a central role in the program. Forest walks, outdoor games, and seasonal projects provide rich opportunities for teamwork, leadership, resilience, and problem-solving. Through real-life outdoor experiences, children learn to follow rules, collaborate with peers, and find solutions together.

A Confident Start to Primary School

The School Readiness Program at ForestKids International Preschool in Zekeriyaköy serves as a strong bridge between preschool and primary education. Regular communication, progress reports, and family meetings ensure that each child is observed, guided, and supported according to their individual needs. Graduates enter primary school as curious, responsible, and self-confident learners.
