Hey Mama! Welcome to Keys to Kindergarten Readiness
I’m Shannon Ali. Daughter of the King, Wife, mom of 3 littles, teacher, speech-language pathologist, and kindergarten readiness expert! I remember what it felt like during the Covid lockdown in 2020, my husband was still working, and I was home by myself with our 3 year old, 1 year old, and a newborn baby girl all while still teaching school online. Needless to say, it was a crazy time, but I am thankful for God’s grace and lessons during that time. I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my role as a mom. I didn’t know how to nurture my children’s gifts. I was putting academics in front of God’s Word, and we didn’t have a sense of discipline, organization, or family in our home even though it looked perfect from the outside. Then, I went into my Bible & back to my college books.
I taught my then 3 year old how to read with quick easy lessons, and he tested off the charts for acceptance into the top school and preschool gifted program.
I taught my kids about several black inventors to teach them perseverance and to build their self-esteem. I taught them life skills to help me around the house and to help them become more independent and confident. Most importantly, I grew deeper in my personal faith, and I was able to start planting seeds in my children’s hearts and teach them so much about God.

Customer Reviews
Great wisdom you can apply quick
Thank God for this show! I am lost in the sauce with my preschooler, lol applying the simple wisdom provided, and each episode has been very helpful in supporting her as she gets ready for kindergarten. Highly recommend for all the mamas and daddies out there.

If Only...
I'd had Shannon's hacks when my kids were younger. Keep up the great work!
Perfect timing!
I am SO grateful to have found this show!!! I have a 3.5 year old who is so sharp and I feel totally clueless on how to steward his gifts. And I LOVE the way Shannon consistently integrates Jesus in her episodes. Subscribed!!!
