READY! for Kindergarten®

The first virtual workshop will open for registration on October 17th, and our first in-person workshop will be held on November 18th .Did you know... 

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.

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 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.
