School Readiness Check
A parent guide to identifying your child’s strengths and next steps before school.
A Parent's Guide to Identifying Your Child's Strengths
and Next Steps Before School
Starting school is a significant milestone, and many parents wonder whether their child is truly ready.
This School Readiness Check has been designed by an experienced early childhood teacher, developed through years of working directly with children and in conversation with families about their most common concerns, questions, and challenges around school readiness.
Rather than focusing on academic skills alone, this guide helps you reflect on your child's development across the key areas that support a successful transition to school, including independence, social skills, emotional readiness, communication, learning behaviours, and everyday functioning.
Following the assessment, you'll be guided through a detailed results and reflection section designed to help you interpret your responses, understand what your child's strengths and challenges may indicate, and identify areas to focus on before school begins.
You'll walk away with a clearer picture of your child's current readiness and greater confidence about the transition ahead.
Inside the School Readiness Check, you'll receive:
✓ A comprehensive school readiness assessment
✓ Insight into the key developmental areas that support a successful transition to school
✓ A strengths and reflection summary to help identify priorities
✓ A detailed guide to understanding what your results may mean
✓ Educator insights into common school readiness concerns
✓ Guidance on identifying potential next steps before your child starts school
✓ Greater clarity and confidence about your child's transition to school
Looking for additional support?
