A Complete School Readiness Program for Your Childcare Centre!
Ready! Set! School! gives childcare centres across Australia a structured, done-for-you school readiness program that educators can run with confidence from day one. Delivered through a simple online portal, it covers letter sounds, counting, correct letter formation and writing, fine motor skills and so much more. All built on over 20 years of teaching experience by founder Lisa Rizk.
Whether your educators are experienced or just starting out, our program gives them everything they need to deliver high-quality transition to school preparation that families notice and value.
What’s in the Program?
Our school readiness curriculum is designed around the skills Kindergarten teachers look for, delivered through hands-on, play-based activities children love.
Letter Sounds and Phonological Awareness
Children explore letter sounds through games, songs, and hands-on activities that build early reading foundations in a way that feels like play, not homework.
Counting and Early Numeracy
Number recognition, patterns, shapes and counting activities that give children confidence with numbers before they start big school.
Fine Motor Skills
Cutting, threading, tracing, playdough and craft activities that strengthen the fine motor skills children need for writing and classroom tasks.
Social and Emotional Readiness
Activities that build confidence, independence, resilience and the ability to engage positively with peers and educators.
EYLF v2 and NQS Aligned
Every session in the Ready! Set! School! program is aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework version 2 (EYLF v2) and supports your centre’s National Quality Standard (NQS) requirements.
Each lesson includes linked EYLF learning outcomes, making it simple for educators to document children’s progress and demonstrate intentional teaching practice. Centres can see at a glance where each group is up to and what has been covered throughout the program year.
This means less paperwork, stronger compliance evidence, and a program that supports your quality rating.

Paige & Justine — Tiny Dreamers
Ready Set School! Preschool Program has been implemented in our programming from the minute we opened our doors in January 2024. Over the year, our preschoolers have shown significant interest, growth and development in their learning. The preschool program is a fun, engaging and positive learning experience for all the children and they absolutely enjoy learning through play. It has not only assisted children in their social, emotional well-being and development, it has helped them master their fine motor skills such as hand eye coordination, cutting skills and handwriting/pencil grip. As we approach the end of the year, the children have developed skills in phonological awareness, letter knowledge, understanding the concept of syllables , number recognition, time, pattern and shapes. Another positive is that it has saved a lot of time for our educators during their programming. Overall, I could not recommend this preschool program enough. It has been an awesome learning experience for not only our children but also our staff. Thank you, Lisa and the team at Ready Set School!

We are glad we discovered The Ready Set School program for our centre. It has brought a new level of excitement and engagement to our classrooms and a noticeably significant change in our children’s readiness for school. The program is thoughtfully developed to cater to a range of development stages, which makes it easy for our educators to adapt it based on the individual needs of the children in their groups. The program is fun and easy to use and has opened endless opportunities to extend children’s learning. Our family engagement has improved since implementing the program. Our parents have given feedback about their children talking about Ready Set School at home, showcasing their learning. Lisa has been wonderful to work with. Her strong work ethic and passion for education are why we continue to choose to implement Ready Set School in our service.
