Birth to Pre-K: Preparing Children for School Success
From birth to age 5, a child learns faster than at any other time in his or her life. Those early learning experiences influence success in school and beyond. Data shows students who start school ahead, stay ahead. Learn what you can do to nurture a child's development in their earliest years, preparing their minds for all future learning.
Our READY! parent workshops provide age-appropriate targets and training in the areas of language and literacy, math and reasoning, and social-emotional. Purposeful play and 20 minutes of daily read-aloud make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
Any parent, guardian, or childcare provider living within the boundaries of South Kitsap School District can attend this FREE training.

In-Person Spring 2023* - In-Person parent workshop registration opens April 3, 2023, and will be held on April 29th and May 6th. Please choose one date per workshop, per child. An adult must be present at each workshop in order to receive the tools for that age-group. You are also allowed to bring a guest to attend with you. Childcare is available for children 13 months to 12 years old.
Our Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions each provide different tools and information that build the foundation to get your child READY! for Kindergarten.
*If you have more than one child eligible for READY!, you may consider doing either both in-person workshops, or doing the virtual workshop for one age group and in-person for the other. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to reach out!
Parents new to READY! will start with a brief Orientation followed by their age appropriate Winter workshop. Orientation is a one-time program overview that covers all age groups for families new to the READY! for Kindergarten® program.
Virtual Workshop Tool pick up** - At the end of the virtual workshop, you will be asked to answer a few questions, select a date for tool pick up, and answer a short survey. You will have two dates to choose from, and parents who are new to READY! will also pick up an Orientation kit at this time. We will follow up with an e-mail reminder and instructions for tool pick up 2-3 days before your requested pick up date. Please note that tool pick-up is not available after the event has ended.
