Kindergarten Readiness

Kindergarten Readiness

Every Child is Prepared for School

Impact on economic mobility and equity: Investment in and accessibility to preschool leads to greater student retention through graduation and decreases school reliance on special education programs for remediation.3 The biggest impact of kindergarten readiness is that children are socially and emotionally ready for school. Children who come from higher economic status tend to score higher on kindergarten readiness assessments, and Black and Latine children tend to score lower on kindergarten readiness than non-Latine white children.

Factors and systems indicators:
• Preschool enrollment and attendance
• Access to early developmental screening
• Parental engagement
• Availability of culturally- or linguistically-inclusive programs
