Checklist questions

What is on the Kindergarten Readiness Checklist?
It's a free 25-point checklist covering the skills kindergarten teachers look for — early literacy and letter knowledge, number sense, fine motor skills, and social-emotional readiness. It gives you a clear, honest picture of where your child stands before kindergarten.

How much does the checklist cost?
It's completely free. Enter your email and I'll send the checklist straight to your inbox, along with a few simple ideas for supporting your child at home.

My child isn't ready for everything on the list. Should I worry?
Not at all. The checklist is a starting point, not a test. Every child grows at their own pace. If you'd like help closing any gaps, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to talk through a simple plan.
