Original caption
Parents, this article says what kindergarten teachers value most before the first day of school and I couldn't agree more. As a kindergarten teacher of 10 years, I'd rather have a child who can communicate, solve small problems, follow directions, and be independent than one who has memorized flashcards but struggles with those foundational skills. Kindergarten readiness isn't about getting ahead academically. It's about building the skills that help children thrive once they get there. What skill are you focusing on with your child this summer? Tell me in the comments! #kindergartenreadiness #kindergartenteacher #preschool #prek
