Description
The development of cognitive, language, and social skills in the first years of life provides an essential foundation for learning more advanced skills throughout the school years. The National Education Goals Panel (1998) aspired to have all children start school ready to learn; this goal has spurred attention to early childhood services. School readiness is generally defined as academic and social competencies that help children have successful learning experiences when they enter school (Mashburn & Pianta, 2006; Rimm-Kaufman & Pianta, 2000; Snow, 2006). Children's academic and social competencies at kindergarten entry are important predictors of success throughout school. Children who enter school not ready to learn struggle with academic difficulties and manifest social and behavior problems in later school years (Duncan et al., 2007; Ladd, 2006). Children's academic and social competencies at kindergarten entry are important predictors of success throughout school.
