Gesell Institute has been known for decades for its multimedia resources for parents and teachers. We are working to update our ever-popular video offerings, and just last year completed a long-awaited DVD on Kindergarten readiness. Now available as a free resource is Gesell Radio – scroll down for details! 
Ready for Kindergarten DVD
This 15-minute film provides a delightful and realistic journey into real-life kindergarten settings, showing children who are ready for the all-important kindergarten experience.
- Follow children as they build, draw, tell stories, pretend, and more – how they learn to play school.
- Watch skillful teachers as they provide appropriate learning opportunities in exciting, dynamic, and stimulating environments.
- Listen to trained educators and administrators discuss how developmental observation aids them in their work.
- Hear from experts in the field of early childhood, including Yale Sterling
Professor Dr. Edward Zigler, founder of Head Start; Gesell Institute leaders; and master teachers and directors.

Parents and professionals watching this film will see how “ready” kindergarten classrooms, supporting current research on brain architecture and the learning needs of five year olds, invite exploration, challenge, learning, and community, and help a child grow physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
A discussion guide is included with the DVD, and more in-depth study questions and facilitator tools are available for download with film purchase. Also available for purchase is an accompanying booklet for parents, Ready or Not: Is My Child Ready for Kindergarten?
