This unique family-based, school readiness program arms you with information, activities, and materials to use with your young child, supporting you as you give your child the smart start they need and deserve. The first five years are critical in preparing a child for school success, and we know that school readiness begins long before a child enters a classroom. Ready for Kindergarten will support you as you become your child's first and most influential teacher! For more information contact us!
