A no-pressure, on-the-fridge way to see what your little one already knows, and where to follow the Breadcrumbz next.
If you've ever caught yourself worrying "is my kid ready for pre-K?" or "should they know more letters by now?"... take a breath. This printable will provide a path for you.
It's two pages. It prints front-and-back on one sheet. And every line is written in your child's voice ("I can use the bathroom on my own," "I can take turns with a friend") because that little shift makes it feel less like a test and more like a celebration of what they're already doing.
โญWhat's inside
๐Six readiness areas: self-care, getting along with others, listening & talking, letters, numbers/shapes/colors, and growing-strong hands and bodies
๐A friendly host for every section โ Rachel Rye, Whitney Wheat, Briana Brioche, Tiffany Toast, Penelope Pumpernickel, and Fiona Focaccia each guide a different page
๐A child name / age / date row at the top so you can date it and look back in six months to see how far they've come
โญHow to use it (the no-pressure version)
๐Print it. Stick it on the fridge, slide it into a folder, or tape it inside your planner. Watch for these skills during regular life โ meals, getting dressed, story time, the playground. Check things off as you spot them.
๐There is no "right age" to check every box. Kids follow the breadcrumbs at their own pace. If most items in a section are still tricky, that section is just where to focus next. That's the whole idea.
