Who this preschool skills checklist is for
This checklist is for parents of three to five year olds, preschool teachers and early years homeschoolers who want to notice and celebrate growth. It is not a test. It helps you see what your child can already do in language, early math, movement, social skills and self care, and gives you gentle ideas for what to practice next.
How to use your preschool skills checklist
Sit down once a month and read through each area. Tick the skills your child shows easily and lightly mark those that are still emerging. Use the notes pages to write small moments, like the first time they wrote their name or shared a toy without asking. Look back each season to see how far they have come, and share the pages with family or a teacher if helpful.
