PUBLIC ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to understand what mothers with children enrolled in a developmentally appropriate preschool program believe and are actually doing to help prepare their children for kindergarten, something of key importance, as kindergarten success is a foundation for later school success. There is very little research on the topic of parental perceptions and practices in kindergarten readiness and the transition into kindergarten. A survey was sent home to 60 families who had their child enrolled in the Adele and Dale Young Child Development Laboratory at Utah State University during the 2010-2011 school year. In the survey, parents were asked to rate the importance of, as well as how often their child participated in a variety of activities, such as reading stories, playing outside, and building with blocks, to help prepare for kindergarten. Parents were also asked to rate the importance of parent involvement in children''s education. The relationship between maternal perceptions/practices and both mothers'' educational levels and the child''s birth status was also examined. Thirty-three mothers returned completed questionnaires. Results showed that mothers were mostly developmentally appropriate in their responses about the importance of using literacy and math in their children''s lives. It was also found that mothers was most developmentally appropriate in their perceptions of parent involvement, literacy, and social development.
