This fall, millions of children across the nation will begin kindergarten for the first time. Yet, according to a recent study conducted at Washington State University, less than half (44%) of incoming kindergarten students are properly prepared to make that step.

There is a feeling among teachers that student preparedness for school has decreased over time, while expectations of academic progress in kindergarten have increased. One may argue that there is no standard for parents to follow when getting their child ready for kindergarten. How do you know if your child is properly prepared for kindergarten?

With many single-parent and duel-income households, parents are relying increasingly on day cares and preschools to prepare children with the right skills for kindergarten. According to the same Washington State study, teachers report that nearly half (46%) of the entering students had previously attended a preschool or childcare facility.

As a parent, the power is in your hands - literally. With just one click of the mouse or touchpad, you can take control of your child's development and set them up to succeed with a variety of learning tools designed specifically for kindergarten. Not only will your children be engaged for hours at a time, but they will also have a significant edge when kindergarten begins.
