Get Ready for School!
Wow, we bet it’s hard to believe that your sweet baby is getting ready to go into pre-school or Kindergarten! You’re probably immersed in the process of finding the right fit for your kiddo’s school as they take a big step into their educational career and social development. Many of the local schools that require an admissions process seek a set of testing called ‘School Readiness’. This set of tests takes a look at your child’s cognitive, social, and behavioral development to make sure they’re ready for this big next step – and also highlights areas of need if they’re not quite ready.
Psychological Testing Focuses
Our team made of up of a Certified School Psychologist and a Licensed Psychologist encourages that your assessment will be accessible for submission to any school admissions programs. Our Psychologist team can help identify several areas of preparedness or need which may include:
· Comprehensive Listening
· Speaking
· Reading
· Writing
· Math Skills
· Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning
· Attention & Concentration
· Concept Development
· & More!
Kindergarten Focus
Some kindergarten programs require testing to ensure readiness to be admitted to Kindergarten programs. This type of testing is also School Readiness, but with a specific focus on the age-appropriate needs for students entering into Kindergarten and the developmental needs to promote success in this environment. Our team will take a closer look at all of the areas your soon-to-be Kindergarten needs to succeed in their next chapter.
Comfortable Testing Space & Consultation
Being an emerging pre-schooler or kindergartener can be overwhelming on its own, which is why we make sure our office spaces are comfortable and cozy and feel safe and welcoming for kids and their families. Our process includes a complimentary consultation call with one of our psychologists, beyond your first reach out, to discuss specifics and any areas of concern. Our team is accessible, approachable, super warm, and happy to answer any questions you may have!
