Many first-time parents—especially moms—ask this important question:
“How do I know my child is actually ready for school?”
It’s a big milestone and an emotional one too. Some children run happily into class on Day 1, while others take time to adjust. At NHVPS BSK, we believe that school readiness is not just about age—it’s about emotional, social, and developmental milestones.
This guide will help you understand what “readiness” really means—and how NHVPS BSK ensures a gentle, joyful, and supportive transition for every child.
What Is School Readiness, Really?
School readiness is not just about ABCs and 123s. It includes:
Emotional readiness: Can your child separate from you without distress?
Social skills: Can they play, share, or interact with other kids?
Communication: Can they express basic needs and feelings?
Motor skills: Can they hold a crayon, eat independently, or climb stairs?
Curiosity: Are they interested in learning new things?
Every child develops differently. NHVPS BSK respects that individuality.
Follows simple instructions like “put your shoes on”
Shows interest in picture books or group play
Uses words to express needs (like hunger, toilet)
Enjoys routines and structured time
Can stay away from you for short periods
Starts to show independence (feeding, dressing)
If some of these are missing, don’t worry—we support that growth gently once they begin school.
