Why Kindergarten Readiness Matters?
Too Many Children Enter Kindergarten Unprepared
Only 40% of children enter kindergarten fully ready. Many lack basic skills in literacy, math, and self-regulation, and those who start behind are three times more likely to struggle with reading by third grade.
Research shows that children are more ready for kindergarten when their parents are financially stable and equipped to nurture academic, social-emotional, and executive function skills at home:
- Children whose families earn above the federal poverty level are up to 27% more likely to meet early literacy and math benchmarks at kindergarten entry (NCES, 2023).
- Parent involvement in early learning increases the likelihood of kindergarten readiness by more than 40% (Harvard Family Research Project, 2022).
- Social-emotional skills, such as following directions and managing emotions, are as strong a predictor of later school success as early literacy skills (IES, 2021).
By supporting both generations—parents and children—at the same time, Early Solutions Houston ensures families are prepared, confident, and connected when it’s time for their children to take that important first step into kindergarten.
