Below is the Getting School Ready!® booklet, a handy guide with
valuable questions to ask as your child prepares for kindergarten.
Getting School Ready!® is a free guide, available in nine

Kindergarten Readiness means a child is ready to
succeed in kindergarten and beyond. No individual quality makes a
boy or girl ready for kindergarten, but thinking about a child's
social, emotional, physical health and development can go a long
way.
