_Ready For Big Kindy?
While there's no perfect formula that determines when children are truly ready for Big kindy, you can use this checklist to see how well your child is doing in acquiring the skills found on most kindy checklists.

Check the skills your child has mastered. Then recheck every month to see what additional skills your child can accomplish easily.  Young children change so fast - if they can't do something this week, they may be able to do it a few weeks later.
