The School-Ready Child
How do children become ready for school? It starts at birth, with the support of parents and
caregivers, when young children acquire the social and emotional skills, knowledge, and
attitudes necessary for success in school and life. Some young children face challenges (poverty,
parental unemployment, low birth weight, depression in the family, abuse and neglect, etc.)
that make their development vulnerable. We need public policies to focus on the healthy
development of babies and toddlers as an essential part of preparing children for success.
1. it’s all about Relationships
Babies know their needs will be met when they have healthy relationships with at least one
caring adult. That adult may be a parent, a relative, or another caregiver. More than 6 million
children under age three spend some or all of
their day being cared for someone other than
their parents.

opportunities to learn how to operate in the world. In
