School readiness is a combination of readiness among children, families, schools and communities: For children, school readiness means being prepared in key dimensions of early learning and development (social and emotional, language and literacy, cognitive, motor, health and physical well-being, and positive attitudes and behaviors toward learning.) For families, it means an understanding of their children’s current level of development and how to encourage them, as well as a supportive partnership with the school and an understanding of the school system their children will enter. For schools, it means providing a welcoming and accepting environment for all children and having professional educators who consistently advance student growth and achievement while working in partnership with families. For communities, it means supporting schools, families and valuing the critical role of early learning.
