How Steph & Josh are introducing Harvey to four-year-old kindergarten - KICBUMP with Catharine Hydon

With Harvey now well into three-year-old kinder, we thought it was the perfect time to welcome back Catharine Hydon to KICBUMP to talk through the transition to four-year-old kinder, as well as answer all your kinder questions. Catharine Hydon is an independent early childhood consultant and Director of Hydon Consulting where she works with a wide range of organisations and governments. We had Catharine on KICBUMP last year, before Harvey started kinder. In this episode, Steph reflects on everything they’ve learned, including Harvey’s cognitive, social & emotional development since starting kinder, and also ask Catharine’s perspective on their next move to four-year-old kinder. We answer your questions too, like what children can expect in a standard day, when to start looking for a kinder, how often they should attend, and more. Thanks to the Victorian Government again for making this episode of KICBUMP possible.
