Preschool Planning Tools for Parents
Is my child ready for preschool? What will this actually cost? Every parent researching childcare hits both questions eventually, and a marketing page won't answer either one honestly. Strong Roots built ten free planning tools that give you a direct answer in a few minutes. You don't need an account or a sales call to use them, just pick the one that matches what you're stuck on right now.
Get to Know Your Child
These five tools help you see your child as they actually are right now, not as an age on a form.
Early Education
Which Early Education Philosophy Fits Your Family?
Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and traditional academic instruction all raise capable kids, but they don't all fit every child or every parent's expectations. Answer a few questions about how your child learns and what matters most to you, and see which approach actually lines up.
Learning Style
What Is Your Child's Unique Learning Style?
Some kids need to touch something to understand it. Others need to hear it explained twice. A few just need to watch someone else do it first. This quiz identifies how your child takes in new information, so you can back it up at home the same way we do in the classroom.
Kindergarten Readiness
The Kindergarten Readiness Checker
Kindergarten teachers expect more than most parents realize: sitting through a full day, writing their name, following multi-step directions without a reminder. This checker walks through what's actually expected and flags where your child could use more practice before day one.
