"Is my child ready for school?"

It's a question we hear from families as their children grow and prepare for their next big adventure. While learning letters and numbers can be exciting (and often develops naturally through their play), school readiness is about so much more.

Preschool classrooms typically have smaller class sizes and lower educator-to-child ratios than children will experience in a school setting. This allows us offer individualized support while helping the children develop the skills needed to thrive in a larger classroom setting.

The ability to make friends, communicate needs, follow routines, manage emotions, try new things, and develop independence are all important skills that help children feel confident and successful as they transition to school.

Every child develops these skills at their own pace, and there is no single path to being "ready." We celebrate the unique strengths, personalities, abilities, cultures, and experiences that each child brings to our learning community.

Take a look through our infographic to learn more about the many ways children build school readiness through play, relationships, and everyday experiences.
