Monday, July 22
Kindergarten Club, 10-11 a.m.
Kindergarten Club is intended for the families of children who are entering kindergarten in fall 2024. Children and caregivers participate together in a variety of fun activities designed to help children prepare for kindergarten. Tips for adults, early literacy activities, social and emotional learning opportunities, and skills that set children up to be successful students will be the focus.
This program is designed using evidence-based approaches to assist parents and caregivers on ways they can help young children develop skills they’ll need for school success.
While supplies last, rising kindergarteners will receive a bag with early learning materials for attending. Registration is not required.
