Gifted & Kindergarten Readiness Evaluations

Providing the Data Needed for Educational Decisions

Deciding when a child is ready for kindergarten or identifying the need for gifted placement can be a pivotal moment in their educational journey. At Mind Mosaic Psychology, we provide the objective, standardized assessments required by both public and private schools in Charlotte, NC.

Gifted Testing

If you have noticed your child learns at an accelerated pace or shows advanced curiosity, gifted testing can provide the documentation needed for specialized placement or accelerated programming.

We provide brief, targeted cognitive assessments—such as the WISC-V or WPPSI-IV—designed to measure intellectual potential. Our reports are accepted by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) and local private institutions for:

• Gifted and Talented (AIG) placement

• Informed educational planning for highly capable learners

• Private school admissions requirements

Kindergarten Readiness & Early Entry

The transition to kindergarten is one of the most significant milestones in a child's life. We offer evaluations for families considering Early Entry to Kindergarten or for those who simply want a professional perspective on their child's developmental preparedness.

These evaluations look beyond basic academic skills to assess the whole child, including:

• Cognitive Development: Assessing language, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

• Pre-Academic Readiness: Measuring foundational skills in literacy and numeracy.

• Social-Emotional Maturity: Observing how a child manages transitions, follows multi-step directions, and interacts with peers.

• Fine Motor Skills: Assessing the physical readiness required for classroom tasks.

Translating Data into School-Based Support

Even for these shorter assessments, we maintain our commitment to providing information that is useful in a classroom setting.

Because of our history of working directly within school systems, we know exactly what school teams need to see in a readiness or gifted report. We don’t just provide a score; we provide a professional narrative that helps educators understand your child’s potential from day one.
