To ensure that all children are ready for kindergarten you can do these simple strategies:

• Read Together - When reading a book, talk with your child about the pictures, ask them questions during the story, "What do you think will happen next?", let them read the story to you, using the pictures!

• Talk Together - Sharing conversations with your children can be so rewarding! "Do you hear the birds? Birds say, Chirp, Chirp, Can you sound like a bird? Chirp, Chirp?" The more you talk, the more your children absorb!

• Count Together - Count objects around you! The cars you pass on the road, the stop signs you see, the spoons in your home, the lights in your house.

• Play Together - Encourage your child to play dramatically, use boxes, laundry baskets, and pillows to create an unexplored land, allow your child to add all the details!

• Move Together - Dance, jump, actually, just move! Being active with your child is important. It allows them to see you move in ways they can't just yet. Encourage your child to move their body everyday!

• Connect Together - Bonding with your child is so important. Creating a safe environment, talking about them, share the reasons you love them so much!
