Research has shown that the first years of a child’s
life set the stage for later development and success
in school and life.
Children’s early experiences have a direct
impact on school readiness to learn which refers to
“the child’s ability to meet the task
demands at school and the child’s ability to
benefit from the educational activities provided by
the school.
School readiness to learn is receiving increasing
attention in many communities; largely due to the
fact that it has been shown to have important long-lasting
effects on children and also on society.
