Kindergarten readiness refers to a child’s ability to enter kindergarten with the skills, knowledge, and emotional maturity needed to succeed in a structured learning environment. It encompasses a variety of developmental areas, including cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language skills, that prepare children to thrive in school. Kindergarten readiness is crucial for setting children up for long-term success in school and in life.
