Quick Answer

A simple editable readiness checklist resource that helps families and educators look at practical everyday skills for preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten readiness. This updated V2 version includes refreshed content, parent-friendly wording, a Personal Information Page, and a Student Transition Form.

Description

The Preschool Readiness Checklist V2 is designed to help families and educators understand the everyday skills children use as they prepare for preschool, Pre-K, or kindergarten.

This is not meant to be a strict list of requirements. Children grow at different rates, and readiness looks different from child to child. These checklists give families a simple, realistic way to see which skills are already developing and which skills may need more practice and support.

The updated V2 version includes refreshed wording and editable Canva Pro pages, making it easier to adjust the text if needed for your classroom, program, or family communication style.

What’s Included

• Preschool Readiness Checklist for 3 year olds

• Pre-K Readiness Checklist for 4 year olds

• Kindergarten Readiness Checklist for 5 year olds

• Parent note for each checklist

• Personal Information Page for checking what children can answer independently

• Student Transition Form for sharing final skills, strengths, and support notes

• Editable Canva Pro version so you can adjust text as needed

How to Use

Send the appropriate readiness checklist home with families to share simple skills that support a smooth start to preschool, Pre-K, or kindergarten.

Use the checklist as a gentle guide, not a strict list of requirements. Families can look through the skills to see what their child is already showing and what may need more practice at home.

Use the Personal Information Page to check what children can answer independently, such as their name, age, parents’ names, birthday, address, or phone number, depending on their age and readiness.

Use the Student Transition Form to summarize important information that may help the next classroom or kindergarten team, including skills, strengths, areas still developing, support needs, and placement notes.
