Why it matters

Why it matters

Starting school brings new routines, learning expectations, and social changes. Early understanding helps children thrive and ensures teachers and families can provide the right support from day one.

These assessments identify your child’s strengths and highlight areas that may benefit from extra support, such as fine and gross motor skills, communication, regulation and attention, or social-emotional development.

With this knowledge, families and educators can build strategies that set children up for success at school and beyond.

Our school readiness assessments cover:
  • Fine & gross motor skills
  • Attention & emotional regulation
  • Communication
  • Social participation & play
  • Self-care & independence (toileting, dressing, feeding)
