Is my child ready for Kick Start?
We’ll help you decide if your child is ready for Kick Start, and at what level, so you and your toddler can feel confident in your journey together.
Most children are ready to begin Kick Start somewhere between 18 and 30 months, but every child develops on their own timeline. The activities are flexible and can be adjusted to meet your child right where they are.
