A Child who is ready for school promotes a positive learning environment for the whole class.
"Readiness" is the idea that a child is prepared for school and, ultimately, for life. In the classroom, readiness helps to eliminate teacher turnover, class disruption and slow learning. If a child's brain is developed in the early years, he will be ready for school. Children who have high quality childcare succeed in the following ways in school:
- Demonstrate greater social skills throughout their school years, from preschool to high school.
- Excel in mastery of pre-reading, reading and math skills.
- Show greater motivation for learning and commitment to schooling.
- Have better school attendance rates.
- Are more likely to graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education or training.
