School Readiness

School readiness refers to a child's ability to make a smooth and successful transition to school. It can be actively facilitated with a little forethought to ensure that children regularly participate in activities that develop the necessary skills for optimal learning when they begin school. While many people associate school readiness with academics (e.g., writing their name, counting to ten, and knowing the colors), school readiness actually encompasses a much broader set of abilities.

Self-care (independent toileting and opening lunch boxes), attention and concentration, physical skills (e.g.having the endurance to sit upright for an entire school day), emotional regulation, language skills, social skills and play are all examples of school readiness skills.

The school readiness program carried out at the center is aimed for infants who are going to attend the first grade of primary school. After individual assessment with reliable assessment tools, parents are informed about the strengths and weaknesses of their child. Based on the results of the assessment, an individualized school readiness program is designed for each child, which includes both individual sessions and group lessons (classroom simulation) for the child’s best possible training.
