Ready, Set, Go! Kindergarten Readiness Part 4

Ready, Set, GO!PART 4 OF A 4-PART SERIES. This program is especially for our little patrons getting ready to attend kindergarten this fall, whether it be traditional school, home school or cyber school. This four-session program will help prepare them. (Registration for this program is full.)

Each student and their adult will work together, play games and do hands-on activities practicing alphabet recognition, colors, patterns and early math skills. In addition, we will practice gross and fine motor skills, walking in a line and raising hands.

- Children must be entering kindergarten to attend.
- While children are not required to attend all four sessions, those who do will gain the most benefit, so try to attend on all four dates if possible.
- Please leave younger and older siblings at home so you can concentrate on your upcoming kindergartner.
