Building strong foundations for a lifetime of learning and success.
Kindergarten readiness goes beyond knowing letters and numbers. It’s about ensuring that every child has the social, emotional and cognitive skills needed to thrive in school and in life.
United Way of Greater Knoxville is working with Knox County Schools, providing convening spaces, project management, strategic planning support, research and state advocacy to help develop a Preschool Expansion Plan.
The plan will emphasize helping more kids access high-quality preschool and teaching parents about kindergarten readiness benchmarks. The primary area of focus is Region 5 schools. This region includes many of our local Community Schools where students experience higher academic disparities due to economic disadvantages.
As your child prepares to take the exciting step from preschool to kindergarten, their readiness is more important than ever. Kindergarten readiness goes beyond knowing letters and numbers—it’s about ensuring your child has the social, emotional and cognitive skills needed to thrive in school.
By focusing on kindergarten readiness, you are giving your child the best start possible, helping them build a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning and achievement. Let’s work together to ensure your child will thrive by five! Click here for current Knox County School targets for kindergarten readiness.
