Kindergarten Readiness

We know from the research that kindergarten readiness begins even before the baby is born. The State of Illinois has identified 14 different readiness measures that we use to determine if our kindergarteners are ready.

The best way to ensure that your child is ready is to start early. Take a look at these short videos that explain each of the 14 measures used to determine readiness and what you can do way before your child gets to kindergarten to make sure they are ready when they turn 5.
