Kindergarten Readiness from what was posted in a public school

Hi everyone....I know there has been some debate on what the expectations are for kindergarten readiness.

Well...every week I take my son to some of the local schools for soccer practice and I found a bright blue banner on a post advising parents that this is kindergarten readiness.

Here is exactly what it says
