Ready, Set, Kindergarten!
Is your child getting ready for Junior Kindergarten (JK) or needing a little extra support as they head into Senior Kindergarten (SK)? This fun and supportive summer group is designed to help kids feel confident and prepared for the next step in their school journey! Through games, creative activities, and plenty of play, kids will learn important skills like sharing, taking turns, following directions, and getting along with others.
