Kindergarten Ready Starts Before Kindergarten | Lincoln News

The Buffett Institute is rallying eleven superintendents across school districts to build a stronger foundation for kindergarten readiness—before kids even step into school. After a decade of collaboration with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Lincoln Public Schools, they’re pushing for clearer, more effective early education that includes play-based learning and critical skills like reading and writing. While enrollment spikes just before age five and again between five and six, many districts still lack quality, full-day preschools, risking gaps in preparation. The goal? Kids who enter kindergarten not just ready, but thriving—learning faster, succeeding longer, and setting the stage for lifelong success.
