School Readiness Today

This booklet, originally published in German by the Pedagogical Section of the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, gathers important new research on the transition from kindergarten to school. This research was presented at a colloquium at the Goetheanum in February, 2013, hosted by the International Association for Steiner/Waldorf Early Childhood Education (IASWECE). It offers valuable insights into healthy child development in relation to school entrance, including color reproductions of children’s drawings that illustrate this developmental stage in a fascinating and very concrete way.
