Are you Ready for Kindergarten?


With kindergarten registration underway, many parents wonder if their child is ready for this new frontier. Here are some basic signs that your child is ready.

They have sufficient oral communications skills.

They have the desire to be more independent.

They have a curiosity about books and learning new things.

They can dress themselves without assistance.

They can take care of bathroom responsibilities.

They can listen to instructions and follow them.

They can recognize numbers and letters.

They demonstrate sufficient motor skills (holding a pencil, coloring within the lines)

They function well in a group environment (they can share).

If you have any questions about if your child is ready, talk to their preschool teacher. As always if you have any question about your child’s development contact a healthcare or educational professional for more information.
