Be Ready
Kindergarten
Entering kindergarten is a transition for both you and your child. Whether or not your child has been in full-time care or preschool, the transition into kindergarten is a milestone in your child’s life. This leads to questions:
-
How can you make sure your child is prepared?
-
What do families need to think about to get their child ready?
Check out Be Ready’s Ready Set Kindergarten! booklet for a calendar to guide you along the way and fun activities to help your child be prepared. Click here for the English version. Descarga la guía y libro de ejercicios en español aquí: En sus Marcas, Listos, Kindergarten!
