Are you worried that your child might not be ready for ‘big school’?

Introducing the School Readiness Checklist

It’s completely natural to feel concerned, especially if you’ve noticed areas of your child’s learning, behaviour, or development that don’t seem quite at the level of their peers. Starting school is a huge milestone, and as parents and educators, we all want to make sure children are equipped with the right skills to thrive in this new environment.

But how can you be sure that your child is truly ready for the challenges of primary school? If you’re unfamiliar with the Australian school system, worried that your child might be younger than their peers, or unsure about the specific skills your child needs, this uncertainty can feel overwhelming.

We understand.

Every parent wants their child to have the very best chance of success at school, but it’s difficult to know where to begin.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for the Kids First School Readiness Checklist. Since my partner and I didn’t go to school in Australia, we weren’t sure if our son would be ready to start school here. The checklist was such a game-changer for us! It covered so many areas of development we hadn’t even thought about, and it made it much easier to talk to his preschool teacher about his progress. Now we feel so much more prepared and reassured. We’re really grateful to have this guide as we get Oliver ready to start school next year.
