Description

Offers several programs that help prepare students for Kindergarten. READY! for Kindergarten Classes: Offers a series of free classes that help families prepare their children for Kindergarten. Parents or caregivers are encouraged to attend all the classes in the series. Parents learn new skills and helpful tips to nurture development in ways that foster academic skills and personal behaviors to boost children's motivation, perseverance and engagement in learning.
