Ready for Learning (RFL)

The RFL (Ready for Learning) tool assesses how well children are progressing in their pre-school year and supports them to experience successful transitions into school.   It focuses on 4 key areas: 

• Language and Cognition  
• Emotional Resilience  
• Daily Living Skills

Providers complete the RFL tool for each child three times in their pre-school year (October, January and April).
