Early education resources
You are passionate about meeting the needs of each young child in your classroom. Throughout each child’s journey of growth, discovery, and learning, you see the small things that make a big difference to each of them. Making a new friend, learning the words to a song, or quietly waiting their turn to speak are all important steps along the path to school readiness.
Pearson appreciates the work you do with these young learners every day, as you help each child prepare in his or her own way for school success. We are pleased to offer you easy-to-use tools and child development resources for quickly evaluating the many facets of school readiness.
