Kindergarten Readiness
From birth to five years old, it is an important time in your child's life of learning and brain development. 80% of brain growth happens during the first three years.
Practice at Home
We encourage our families to work with their children at home, to help prepare for kindergarten! These practices are just some of the many ways you can assist your child to enter kindergarten with confidence and excitement to learn.

Readiness Toolkit
