Kindergarten Readiness Guide

Kindergarten Readiness Guide

Preparing your child for kindergarten involves more than just academic skills—it includes social-emotional readiness, physical development, and self-care abilities. This handout, combined with our food allergen introduction guide, provides comprehensive guidance for these important developmental milestones.

At Nourish Medical Center, we provide these detailed handouts during pediatric office visits to ensure parents have personalized guidance for their child’s unique developmental stage and needs. Our pediatric providers will review this information with you and answer your specific questions.

You’ll Learn:

• Developmental milestones for kindergarten readiness
• Social-emotional skills needed for school success
• Current recommendations for introducing common food allergens (combined handout)

The kindergarten readiness portion covers academic, social, emotional, and physical skills that support school success, while the allergen introduction section provides evidence-based guidance on when and how to introduce common allergens safely. Your provider will assess your child’s individual readiness and risk factors.

Who This Handout Is For:

• Parents of preschool-aged children
• Families preparing for kindergarten transition
• Anyone with questions about developmental readiness
• Parents introducing solid foods and allergens to babies
