Kindergarten Preparation

Kindergarten Preparation is a place for those parents who have older preschoolers preparing for their transition to kindergarten. My goal is to provide parents, early childhood educators and other caregivers information to allow your preschooler to make a successful transition from preschool to kindergarten. You will learn the signs that a preschooler is ready for kindergarten, fun ways to build the skills your preschooler needs and ways to make the first day of school go smoothly.
