Is Your Child
Kindergarten Ready?
Kindergarten Club is for the families of children entering kindergarten in the fall. Children and caregivers are taught with fun activities designed to help children prepare for kindergarten. Tips for adults, early literacy activities, social and emotional learning opportunities, and skills that set children up to be successful students.
Registration is recommended when indicated, but not required. While supplies last, rising kindergarteners will receive a bag with early learning materials for attending. You can find more K-Prep resources and tools on our Early Literacy page.
