School Readiness
The goal of Head Start’s school readiness component is to increase the knowledge of parents and staff about child development and transitions to new learning environments When these goals are met, children are ready for school and sustain substantial learning gains These five domains are linked to the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) to monitor each child’s growth
1 Cognition and General Knowledge – Children will demonstrate and understand one-to one correspondence up to ten
2 Physical Development and Health – Children will manipulate small objects using precise hand-eye coordination and show the ability to recognize hand washing at appropriate times throughout the day
3 Language and Literacy – Children will demonstrate the ability to play with letter sounds through phonetics and play independently with sounds and rhymes; demonstrate comprehension of one and two step directions through instructional and social settings
in the daily routine
4 Approaches to Learning – Children will use more descriptive language in predicting and explaining
5 Social and Emotional Development – Children will self-regulate their emotions, attention, impulses and behavior
The best thing I liked about the program was the class size.
The fact that it’s
a parent involved community made me feel welcomed and confident to be a part of my child’s development.
