FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS
Overview
When it comes to learning, home is where the best start occurs. Young children learn best through active involvement with people they love and trust. That's family! They also learn best when repetition is frequent and in a secure environment. That's home!
READY! for Kindergarten classes encourage you to talk, sing, read and play with your child in simple ways that foster essential pre-literacy, pre-math and social-emotional skills. Age-appropriate activities are designed to start at birth and continue through age five. The curriculum is based on current research and replicates what parents and preschool educators of successful students have done for years.
Parents and caregivers choose activities from READY! classes to enjoy at home based on their child's personality, abilities and interests, and their family's values and culture. Sessions are held three times per year (Fall, Winter and Spring) and participants choose from one of five classes depending on their child's age. Each class is a 90-minute interactive lesson led by a trained instructor. The targets, materials, activities and tools used in class are yours to take home and enjoy with your child.
The READY! for Kindergarten program is designed to help participants prepare children with the skills needed to start and stay at grade level throughout their scholastic career. You, the parent or caregiver, are your child's most powerful teacher. With READY! for Kindergarten you can help plant the seeds for success in school and a lifelong love of learning for your child.
