  • Math concepts (counting, number recognition)
  • Social-emotional development
  • Fine motor skills
  • Cognitive development

How to Use This Checklist

Review each section with your child and mark completed skills. Don't worry if your child hasn't mastered everythingβ€”this is a guide, not a test. Focus on areas that need more support.
