Developmental readiness plays an important role in early childhood period and it sets the basis for future development. It is multi-faceted concept comprised of physical, cognitive, socio-emotional and self-help skills of children. Thus developmental readiness of children assures smooth and successful transition to formal schooling. The purpose of the present study was to assess the developmental readiness of private school children. The total sample of the study comprised of 200 children (i.e., 100 rural & 100 urban) of class- I randomly selected from private schools of rural and urban area. Self-structured Developmental readiness checklist was used to assess its different components.The results revealed that most of the rural and urban children had high level of skills across all domains. Locale differences showed that both rural children showed significantly better skills across various domains of developmental readiness than urban children except in cognitive skills and fine motor skills. Implications o fresearch for practice are also discussed in the present study.
