School Readiness 2010 Reports Now Available
Our most recent School Readiness evaluation (2010) of Alameda County children showed many promising results:
- Children who had formal preschool experience are the most ready for school
- Children who did not have formal preschool experience but participated in short-term First 5 Summer Pre-K programs show readiness skills comparable to those who had formal preschool experience
- Children who appear healthy and well also perform well in Kindergarten
- Intensive home-visiting supports for the county’s most vulnerable children boost their readiness for school, and
- Leveraging opportunities to support parents in receiving information about child’s readiness and to support positive parenting attitudes can have positive effects on children’s readiness.
