School Readiness
School readiness is foundational across early childhood systems and programs. It means children are ready for school, families are ready to support their children's learning, and schools are ready for children. Head Start views school readiness as children possessing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for success in school and for later learning and life. Physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development are all essential ingredients of school readiness. Managers, teaching staff, caregivers, family advocates, and families can learn more about creating enriching and supportive learning environments for young children ages birth to 5.
The Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework
Federal and program staff introduce the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework, formerly the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework. The revised Framework will guide Head Start programs as they serve children ages 3 to 5, including children who are dual language learners and children with disabilities, by addressing key elements of school readiness and program function. Head Start directors and program staff will find this webinar useful as they familiarize themselves with the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework.
