Grammar 1 Readiness

So your child is approaching first grade...
THIS INFO IS ON WEBPAGE ITSELF

Many parents wonder whether their child is "ready" for Greenhouse.

There is no simple answer to that question because every child is precious and unique, and every child develops differently. We have designed this brief tool to help you open the dialog about your child's readiness.

On the next eight pages, you will be able to provide a snapshot of what your child is currently able to do. It's not a comprehensive picture; and we do not expect a given child to be able to do everything with ease. Answering as candidly as possible will make our conversation much more fruitful.

It should take about 3 minutes to answer the questions. After you submit your responses, we will send you a document to assist you getting your child ready for first grade, wherever that may be. Of course, we would like you consider Greenhouse as your potential co-schooling partner.
It will take about three minutes to learn how ready your child is.
