Common questions

How do I know if my child is ready for kindergarten?
Readiness is more about self-regulation and independence than academics. The readiness prompt gives a checklist plus a summer plan for the gaps.
How many activities should a child do?
Enough to enjoy, few enough to still have unscheduled evenings. The activity prompt weighs your family's actual week rather than a general rule.
