Book Description
To examine the perceptions of center-based childcare provider and kindergarten teacher perceptions on school readiness, the Ready or Not survey was conducted. Childcare providers in this study placed more emphasis on academic readiness skills while kindergarten teachers placed more emphasis on social and behavioral skills. Results also indicated that participants believe that children's preschool experiences are important for school readiness and that children without disabilities tend to be more ready for kindergarten than children with disabilities. These findings advance present understanding of the differences in perceptions of childcare providers and kindergarten teachers on children's school readiness.
