Is your child ready for Kindergarten?


If you have a Pre-K, you will probably be asking yourself many questions over the next year...

'Where will my child go to school?'
'Where's the best place to get school supplies?'
'How will I arrange transportation?'
'Who will my child be friends with?'

One very important question you should be asking:

'Is my child ready for kindergarten?'

Do they have the important skills that teachers want all their new students to have prior to entering their classroom?
  • Does my child enjoy learning and discovering?
  • Does my child have the opportunity for peer social interaction? Do they have opportunities to build friendships, learn turn-taking and co-operation, effectively communicate with others, problem-solve, share, or recognize boundaries and social cues?
  • Do they have experiences in building self-esteem and independence, by successfully joining group play, learning self-control while gaining confidence in expressing their needs and wants to others?
  • Are they having regular opportunities to sit in circle times? To listen and follow instructions for group games, to learn basic concepts such as days of the week, letters and numbers? Are they building confidence to stand up in front of a group and voice themselves?
  • Has your child had enough experience being away from you all day, to cope with morning drop-off and sustaining independence throughout the day?
  • Do they have regular experiences with fine-motor development?
  • Can they effectively communicate with others?
