About this listen

In this episode of Plant the Seed of Learning, we continue our Kindergarten Readiness Series with elementary school counselor and former kindergarten teacher David Trout. With nearly two decades of experience in early childhood and elementary education, David brings clarity and reassurance to parents navigating kindergarten registration this spring.

We explore what truly matters when preparing your child for kindergarten, with a strong focus on social skills, confidence, and emotional readiness. You will learn what early literacy and math actually look like in today’s classrooms, how writing skills develop, and what a typical kindergarten day includes.

We also discuss the return of purposeful play, the benefits of full-day kindergarten, and what parents can expect during the registration process.

If you are enrolling your child in kindergarten right now and feeling unsure about how to prepare them, this episode will give you practical guidance, realistic expectations, and peace of mind.

Because kindergarten readiness is not about perfection. It is about connection, confidence, and a strong foundation for learning.
