School Readiness

School readiness is a cornerstone in a child’s academic journey. It’s not just about learning the ABCs and 123s, but about fostering a well-rounded development that prepares children for the school environment and beyond.

School readiness is crucial to:

  • Building a strong foundation in beginning language and math skills.
  • Developing social skills like sharing, respecting others, and more.
  • Promoting emotional maturity to help children understand their emotions, develop empathy, and learn how to handle different situations, contributing to their emotional well-being.
