Walnut Creek has one type of helpful mess when childrens go to kindergarten. Neighbours, paediatricians, preschool teachers and an individual at the farmers' market all have opinions of what your child should do for the first year of schooling, and they're not sitting around politely, weighing their words.Neighbours, paediatricians, preschool teachers, and that person at the farmers' market all have opinions about where your child should spend their first academic year, and they're not calmly reflecting on the issue, politely. This is the actual sound and it isn't very helpful. What penetrates it is three aspects, which really do predict a successful kindergarten year: teacher quality, class size, and the consistency of the program's daily routine and pace with your child's temperament.

At the public kindergarten through Mount Diablo Unified, Walnut Creek provides families with good neighborhood choices that don't always get the credit they deserve. The parent communities at MDUSD campuses in this area, such as Buena Vista Elementary and Walnut Acres Elementary, are actively involved in supporting the schools and providing additional resources.

In the eyes of a kindergarten teacher, kindergarten readiness is different than what most families think it is. Schools are not focussing on children who can read and count to twenty. They want to find children who are able to stand not knowing, to get over small failures without going under, and to talk it out with words instead of actions. Social-emotional development (SED) at kindergarten entry has greater predictive power for kindergarten to second grade outcomes than do academic pre-skills. Preschools that are investing heavily in emotional regulation, but not sacrificing academics, are laying the real groundwork that academic learning needs to stay in place.
