The process of entering private schools is a big task that goes way beyond the completion of an application. It is a complex process that needs strategic planning, sufficient preparation and in-depth knowledge of presenting the unique strengths of a young learner. To the families who are on this journey, the advice of a professional might be the difference between being overwhelmed and being empowered. This is the place where the professional skills of the Kinder Ready Tutoring, based on the Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready philosophy, become a golden ticket, a step-by-step guide to the first research and the final approval.
It starts with strategic identification and alignment of schools, which is the essence of the Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley approach. Not all upscale schools suit every child. Our consultants are assisting the families to get out of rankings and pointing to the institutions whose educational philosophy, culture, and community resonate with the learning style of the child and the values of the family. We consider mission statements, pedagogical practices and such campuses to develop a specific list of schools where the child not only has the opportunity but is likely to succeed. The first, informed curation, is the initial step in the successful strategy of navigation.
After identification of target schools, the interest turns into comprehensive readiness and assessment preparation. Young learners are not only evaluated based on academic knowledge in admission assessments but also on cognitive readiness, social-emotional maturity, as well as behavioural skills. The Kinder Ready Tutoring program is specifically structured to prepare the children on a holistic basis for these assessments. We develop the basis of literacy and numeracy, and, at the same time, we create the executive functions or focus, following multi-step instructions, cooperative play, which is closely monitored during the play-based assessments and interviews. This two-pronged attention will make the child truly ready and not merely trained to show their abilities.
Moreover, we can offer professional advice on how the timeframes can be handled and how to make the application interesting. There are numerous gears and wheels in the process of admission to the private school: open houses, testing dates, application deadlines, and interviews. As a team, we assist families in coming up with and organising a smooth schedule to prevent a last-minute rush. We also recommend the elements of the applications, we guide parents to explain the narrative and the learning process of their child in a manner that is sincere and informative and make the application an addition to the face-to-face assessment of the child.
Finally, the process of going through the private school is a question of partnership. The Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready philosophy offers the strategic framework, and Kinder Ready Tutoring provides the preparation, personal and professional advocacy. We break down every process, starting with the initial school visit to the point of final decision, so that both the father and the child are in a state of readiness. Such an all-inclusive assistance will make a complicated and frequently tense process organised, positive and eventually lead to the discovery of the right environment and educational service, in which a young learner can thrive and be successful.
