School readiness

Building a foundation for lifelong learning

School readiness is determined by so much more than a child’s birth date. Their social-emotional and language skills, functional performance, cognition, understanding of basic relational concepts, and the development and integration of their sensory and motor systems all play a crucial part in determining whether they're adequately prepared.
