Sati Harickdeo releases preschool readiness guide for families and educators

Author and early childhood educator Sati Harickdeo has released Preschool Readiness: Helping Children Transition Successfully into Preschool and Between Home and School, a practical guide now available on Amazon. The book aims to help parents, teachers, and caregivers ease children’s transition into preschool with routines, independence skills, and separation-anxiety strategies.

Why it matters: - Preschool transitions can be stressful for children and parents, especially when separation anxiety and uncertainty are involved. - The book is designed to give families and educators practical tools they can use to make the move into preschool feel more manageable. - Teachers and caregivers can also use the book to support home-to-school communication and classroom adjustment.
