Is my child ready for independent preschool?

This is a question that we often receive. If you are considering whether or not your child is ready for preschool, your child should be:

• Toilet trained, able to care for themselves in the bathroom, without the aid of a diaper or pull-up
• Able to communicate their needs to others
• Physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of benefiting from the preschool experience
• Shows interest in stories, singing and co-operative play
• Able to follow 2-step instructions
• Can respond/interact with adults other than parents
