Preschool Readiness Milestones | Key Skills for a Confident Start

Preparing your child for preschool is about nurturing a set of foundational skills that build confidence and a love for learning. Key preschool readiness milestones focus on social-emotional growth, practical independence, and early cognitive development. Socially, look for your child\'s ability to separate from you comfortably, take turns with peers, follow simple two-step instructions, and express their needs with words. Practically, being potty-trained, managing basic self-care like handwashing, and recognizing their own name are important steps. Academically, an interest in books and stories, the ability to hold a crayon with control, and recognizing basic shapes and colors are fantastic indicators. At Tiny Hands Learning, our programs are specifically designed to foster these exact skills through engaging, play-based activities that make learning natural and fun. We partner with parents to celebrate each milestone, ensuring a smooth and exciting transition to preschool.
