One of the most important components of Kindergarten Readiness is a child's physical, mental, and social development. The first few years of a child's life are fundamental to their intellectual growth, as well as their physical, mental, and emotional growth. By establishing healthy habits from an early age, children will be well-balanced and prepared to enter Kindergarten.
In this part of the guide, you'll find five sub-topics to review:
Independence, Mental Health & Development, Physical Health & Development, and Social & Emotional Development.
After choosing a sub-topic, this subject page will take you to a new page of the guide. As previously stated, you will find a checklist of skills related to the subject, as well as books and resources to help your child succeed in kindergarten.
