What Should a Kindergartner Know?
Kindergarteners should possess a foundation in essential concepts such as number sense, phonological awareness, and self-regulation. The curriculum covers core subjects (math, language, science, and social-emotional development) to foster cognitive, linguistic, and social-emotional growth. Ongoing assessment informs instruction and supports individual learning needs. Early childhood education embraces diversity, providing strategies for children with special needs and giftedness. Parent involvement is crucial for children’s success, and transitioning to first grade requires readiness in key skills and knowledge that facilitate a smooth academic journey.
