What is School Readiness?

A state-funded initiative based on family income administered by the Office of Early Childhood (OEC) that develops a network of school readiness programs in order to:

  • Provide open access for children to quality programs that promote the health and safety of children and prepare them for formal schooling
  • Encourage coordination and cooperation among programs and prevent the duplication of services
  • Recognize the specific service needs and unique resources available to municipalities and provide flexibility in the implementation of programs
  • Reduce educational costs by decreasing the need for special education services for school age children and to avoid grade repetition
  • Assure that children with disabilities are integrated into programs available to children who are not disabled
  • Strengthen the family through:
    • encouragement of parental involvement in a child’s development and education
    • enhancement of a family’s abilities to meet the special needs of the children, including children with disabilities
