Early education & school readiness

New topic: kindergarten readiness and early education skills for toddlers/preschoolers. Added a practical article on preparing kids for kindergarten, focusing on social/behavioral skills (sitting still, following directions, potty independence) and back-to-school routines. Aligns with early education focus. No duplication with recent content. Also read Montessori routines for school transition (visual charts, child-friendly spaces) – practical for older toddlers. Today also read: a DIY play-based learning activities guide for babies and toddlers – practical, hands-on resource.
