School Readiness

Are you considering whether to send your child early to school or hold them back? 

Parents often find themselves undecided about whether their child is ready for primary school or not. They wonder if their child is fully prepared for the challenges of school. 

Will they cope in a new and demanding school environment? How do I get my child ready for school? 

A school readiness assessment is a comprehensive objective evaluation that assesses a child's development in various areas such as cognitive skills, motor skills, social-emotional skills, independent skills, and academic abilities. 

The benefits of a school readiness assessment:

• Accurate assessment of your child's development: A school readiness assessment provides an evaluation of your child's abilities.
• Identification of specific strengths and weaknesses: A school readiness assessment can help identify specific areas where your child excels and areas where they may need extra support. 
• Objective advice on school readiness: Psychologists offer insights into the skills and abilities required to succeed in school and provide recommendations based on your child's individual needs.
• Early intervention for developmental delays: If a school readiness assessment identifies any developmental delays, early intervention can be recommended to help your child overcome these challenges.
