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.
⭐What's inside
👉Six readiness areas: self-care, getting along with others, listening & talking, letters, numbers/shapes/colors, and growing-strong hands and bodies
👉A friendly host for every section — Rachel Rye, Whitney Wheat, Briana Brioche, Tiffany Toast, Penelope Pumpernickel, and Fiona Focaccia each guide a different page
👉A 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
⭐How to use it (the no-pressure version)
👉Print it. Stick it on the fridge, slide it into a folder, or tape it inside your planner. Watch for these skills during regular life — meals, getting dressed, story time, the playground. Check things off as you spot them.
👉There 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.
