Kindergarten School Readiness Program Surrey
Program Overview
Getting Ready for School
School readiness refers to whether a child can easily and successfully transition into primary school. School readiness encompasses several vital dimensions: language and literacy, thinking skills, self-confidence, self-control, and physical and social-emotional skills.
These capacities usually emerge during the earliest years of a child’s life. They provide a good foundation for kindergarten readiness and later academic success during primary and secondary schooling.
Many assume that school readiness is primarily about academics, such as a child’s reading, writing, speaking, counting, and comprehension abilities.
While these are important, school readiness refers to a broader range of skills, as mentioned above.For example, students need to understand limits and how to communicate needs appropriately and wants (self-control/ regulation).
The students need the concentration to sit still during lessons for long periods and the social skills to interact with peers. School readiness also relates to sharing and taking turns, listening and asking questions, and working well with others.
