Kindergarten enrollment is just around the corner and starting your child’s educational journey can feel overwhelming. Below are a few things to keep in mind and observe with you and your child as you get ready for their first day in the classroom.
Certain milestones are used to determine kindergarten readiness. These are things that can be easily practiced at home, and you may already do so everyday.
School Readiness - following basic instructions, waiting patiently, taking responsibility.
Academic readiness - knowledge of shapes and numbers.
Social/Emotional skills - making basic written or non-verbal requests, small group interaction and engagement.
Play skills - cooperates and shares with others, basic interest in objects, uses toys for intended function.
The building blocks of kindergarten are rooted in the whole educational approach. Here is what your child’s first year might look like:
Whole group learning
Individual and independent work
Reading development
Comprehension skills
Fine motor skills
When looking for the right kindergarten program, look for flexible seating, calming/sensory areas, breakout workspaces, and collaborative seating opportunities. Find a program that focuses on academics, play-based learning, and social skills. Seek the incorporation of visual supports and technology that will aid in your child’s development and success.
If your child is ready to start their academic journey you have many options when it comes to kindergarten. All families should find an environment that provides the structure and support their child needs to succeed.
If you feel like your child needs additional support, Julie Billiart Schools is launching Begindergarten, a kindergarten-readiness program that offers a full day of learning and support for children as they grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Learn more about Begindergarten here.
You can also talk to your child’s preschool or current childcare setting about how to best prepare them for the next step in their education.

All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.
JB Parent
I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.
Tammie Sommer
Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.
JB Parent
They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!
JB Parent
Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.
