Kindergarten Teacher Checklist
Kindergarten is an exciting time of exploration and discovery, it is the place where formal education begins. Your child will learn many of the skills he/she will need to be successful throughout his/her education. Young children tend to grow and mature at different rates; therefore, it can be difficult to determine school readiness. You are your child’s first teacher and I value your insights and observations tremendously. Please take a few minutes to complete this checklist - it is a general guideline to help measure strengths and weaknesses. Remember that young children can change quickly; what they are unable to do today, they may very well accomplish in just a few weeks time. It may be a good idea to keep a copy of this form so that you can see any progress your child makes between now and September.

Please read the statements below - choose yes, sometimes or not yet. Remember, this questionnaire is to help me get to know your child and work more specifically on his/her readiness level. Your answers should reflect what you observe in your child to date. Thank you so much for your time. I am looking forward to a wonderful year in kindergarten!
