Find a School Readiness Coach
A school readiness coach prepares children and families for the transition to kindergarten or first grade. They assess academic, social, and emotional readiness and create targeted preparation plans.
Who Is It For?
Parents of pre-K and kindergarten-age children who want to ensure their child is ready for school, or families with concerns about school readiness.
What Does a School Readiness Coach Do?
School readiness coaches evaluate your child's skills across key domains, create fun preparation activities, help with social skill development, and guide parents on school selection and communication with teachers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child is ready for kindergarten?
Readiness includes academic skills (letters, numbers, colors), social skills (sharing, waiting turns), emotional regulation (managing frustration), and self-care (using the bathroom independently).
Should I hold my child back a year?
This is a common question. A school readiness coach can assess your child's specific strengths and gaps to help you make an informed decision based on data, not just age.
How early should I start preparing?
Most families benefit from starting 6-12 months before school entry. But school readiness is built over years of everyday experiences, not just formal preparation.
What if my child has a late birthday?
A readiness assessment can help determine whether your child would benefit from starting school or waiting another year. Every child is different.
