To be ready for preschool, kids need to be able to express themselves in a way that an unfamiliar adult can understand. That doesn’t mean your child needs to be speaking in full sentences, just that he/she has an appropriate way of getting their feelings and needs across. That can be with words, gestures or sign language. Kids who are expressive can understand what other people are saying. Your child may not be able to follow directions that have many steps, but understanding basic words and directional phrases like “sit down” and “follow me” is important. Preschoolers are also expected to have a basic understanding that other kids have feelings and needs.
