30 Skills Your Child Needs To Know Before Kindergarten

May 23, 20231 min read

🎉 Wondering if your little one is ready for kindergarten? 📚✏️ As a mom of 2 boys and a preschool teacher, I totally understand those concerns! It's such an exciting milestone in your child's life. That's why I've got you covered with a helpful checklist! 📝👇

I've had countless parents ask me questions like, "How can I tell if my child is ready for kindergarten?" or "What should they know beforehand?" I get it, you want a checklist, and I've got just the thing for you! (Scroll down to find it!) But here's the important part: academic readiness isn't everything. 🌟 Sure, society emphasizes preschool and tons of activities, but what truly matters is building good character, being respectful, making friends, and showing kindness. That's the foundation!

Even if you feel like your child might be behind academically, relax! Teachers are experts at meeting their students' needs. So, keep that in mind as you check out my kindergarten readiness checklist. 📋 I've created it based on my experience teaching preschool and kindergarten for a decade. You can print it out and mark off skills as your child masters them. Don't worry, the list may look long, but focusing on what you can tackle will truly benefit your child. 🙌

Whether you choose to homeschool or send your child to school, this list will be a valuable guide. It's always good to know what your child should be prepared for. And guess what? You can snag this checklist for free when you sign up for my weekly newsletter! 💌 Simply click here to join the newsletter community and grab your free kindergarten readiness checklist Plus you will even receive a free 7 day trial for your child to try out our preschool..
