Good Beginnings - School Readiness
Read more about the School Readiness Initiative

Every child enters school ready to learn. Families, schools, communities, and policy-makers must create a system that supports all young children's learning with respect for individual differences in physical, mental, and social-emotional development. The School Readiness Initiative focuses on the shared responsibility between the public and private sectors in providing quality early learning opportunities for all of Hawaii's young children.

School Readiness Definition
Young children are ready to have successful learning experiences when there is a positive interaction among the child's developmental characteristics, school practices, and family and community support.
