You already know your child. But do you know what it means for school?

For parents of children starting school in January 2027. In 8 minutes, turn what you notice every day into a clear picture of where they stand — and exactly what to focus on before the first day.

I'm amazed — the results captured my daughter perfectly after just a few short questions. I finally have a clear picture of where she's at and what to do next. — Delia, mum of a 4-year-old · Sydney

Your child's physical and social foundations are genuinely strong — the kind of base that makes the first weeks of school feel manageable, not overwhelming.

The area worth focusing on is communication — not vocabulary, that's fine.

It's specifically storytelling — being able to tell a teacher what happened, or explain what they need.

Communication · Starting plan Start here
What to do
Your child tells stories well at home — because you already share the context. That shared context is doing half the work for them. The skill they need for school is narrating to someone who has none of it.
How to do it
Once a day, after something happens, ask your child to tell it to someone who wasn't there — a parent at work, a grandparent on the phone, even a soft toy. You stay silent.
What to say
"Dad wasn't there — he has no idea. Tell him the whole thing."
Then don't help.
What to expect
They'll start in the middle — "and then he fell" with no setup for who fell. Let the listener say "I don't know who you mean." That confusion is the lesson. Over 2–3 weeks you'll notice them starting to set the scene first.

Your full report covers all five areas across three sections — your child's picture, your starting plan, and their strongest foundation. Written specifically about your child.

Why Nousli exists

Every piece of advice you find about school readiness is written for every child. This is written for yours.

When my son was preparing for school, I searched for what most parents search for. I found checklists. They told me whether he could hold a pencil or count to ten.

What they couldn't tell me was whether his quiet streak was something to pay attention to, or something to leave alone. Whether the meltdown over the wrong cup at breakfast was about the cup, or about something bigger I should know about. Which of the five or six things I was vaguely worried about actually mattered — and which I could stop carrying.

I'm a data scientist by training. I spend my working life finding signal in messy information. The Starting School Planner is what I built when I couldn't find anything that gave Australian parents a clear, specific picture of their own child — while there was still time to do something about it before the big school transition. That window is still open — but not for long.

What parents and educators say

"It made me feel ready — I could see where my child was thriving and where they needed a little extra support before starting school. Exactly what a parent needs."

— Kitty, mum of three · Inner South, Sydney

"I love that Nousli helps parents feel more confident about where their child is at — recognising every child is unique and supporting families in deciding where to focus their energy in the lead up to school."

— Kelly, Early Childhood Educator · Sydney

Built on the AEDC — Australia's national framework for measuring child development at school entry.

Walk away knowing what to do this week

Not "spend more time reading together." The specific activity, the exact words to use, and what to expect — matched to where your child is right now and how long you have left.

The Starting School Planner is developed in line with the five developmental domains of the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) — the national framework used to measure children's development at school entry across Australia. Based on observable, everyday home behaviour — not a test, not a clinical instrument, and not a verdict.

Everything above — delivered in 8 minutes, written about your child.
