What Being “Ready for School” Really Means
Being ready for school is about much more than knowing letters and numbers. It’s about feeling confident away from home, communicating with others, making friends, following routines and becoming increasingly independent. Jelly Beans is designed to support all of these skills naturally through play, relationships and everyday experiences.
