KINDERGARTEN READINESS

A child’s learning from the time of birth to age five determines his or her kindergarten readiness.

Skills acquired during the first five years impact not just academic success but also a child’s cognitive abilities, social and emotional development, physical well-being, communication and literacy, and healthy self-care skills.

Most children will participate in readiness assessments before entering kindergarten. Familiarizing yourself with the appropriate kindergarten readiness skills will help your child to be better prepared for a successful school beginning.
