Is your child ready for preschool? 8 gentle signs


Every child is different

There is no single right moment. As a general guide, Pre-Nursery suits children around 2–3 years, Nursery 3–4, LKG 4–5 and UKG 5–6. These signs can help you see if your child is ready.

8 gentle signs

1. They can spend a little time away from you without great distress. 2. They show interest in other children. 3. They can follow simple instructions. 4. They can tell you basic needs, like hunger or the toilet. 5. They enjoy stories, songs and play. 6. They can focus on an activity for a few minutes. 7. They are curious and ask questions. 8. They are building a simple daily routine.

It’s okay if not every sign is there

Many children grow into these skills after joining a caring, play-based preschool. Settling in takes a little time, and that is completely normal.
