Book Overview

Preschool Readiness: A Guide for Parents, Teachers and Caregivers

Starting preschool is one of the biggest milestones in a young child's life, and one of the most emotional for parents. In this warm, practical guide, veteran preschool teacher Sati Harickdeo draws on decades in the classroom to help families navigate the fears, tears, and triumphs of that first big step, from talking to your child about school to easing separation anxiety and building the confidence that carries them into kindergarten and beyond.
Woven through every chapter is the story of a mother and daughter walking through the big red door together, a real-life thread that makes the strategies here feel less like advice and more like lived experience.

What readers may not expect is just how personal that story is. The little girl at the heart of this book, Alana, was Sati's own daughter, who passed away several years ago. Every chapter is, in its own way, a mother finding her way back to her child, and a gift to every family walking through that same door for the first time.

Equal parts classroom-tested guide and quiet tribute, this book will help your child feel ready instead of scared, and remind you of the most important lesson of all: Mommy always comes back.
