Transition to Kindergarten 

How do I get my child ready for kindergarten 

over the summer?

Our overall goal for your child is to learn independence, structure and routines within a classroom setting. These skills will help them gain independence:

• zipping and unzipping their backpack, lunchbox, and coat

• opening and closing ziploc bags and other snack items

• learning to tie their own shoes

These are important things to consider to make the

transition easier for your child:

• no nap time by the end of summer

• familiarize your child with public restrooms and how to wipe on their own

• help your child practice recognizing and writing their name
