School Readiness

Messiah Lutheran Academy focuses on preparing your child to be successful in elementary school. School readiness refers to ensuring that your child is ready to start the process of learning how to do things independently. In order to achieve this goal, Messiah Lutheran Academy focus on the following school readiness skills.

• Work independently
• Attend or listen to what someone else is saying
• Get along with other children of the same age
• Learn and participate in structured situations such as play and story reading
• Focus or key in and listen to one central person in the classroom
• Learn (have the necessary social skills/ability) in a co-operative learning environment where children learn from teachers and form one another
• Play with other children (wait their turn in line and so on)
