Kindergarten Readiness FAQ

When should we start preparing?

It's best to start focused preparation 12 months before entry. This allows time to build social-emotional skills and independence through low-pressure activities.

What if my child isn't "reading ready"?

Kindergarten is where formal reading instruction begins. What matters most is an interest in books, a rich vocabulary, and the ability to follow multi-step directions.
