Is your little one about to start kindergarten? Let’s get prepared together.

These sessions will prepare you and your little one for the big step into kindergarten. We will explore necessary skills, tips, routines, and resources to support getting ready for kindergarten!

Over three (3) sessions we will cover Letter & Number Recognition, Fine Motor Skills, and Emotional Regulation. We highly recommend attendance at all three (3) sessions. 

This is a parented program. Caregivers must remain with their child at all times.
