Ready, Set, Learn! A Parent Guide

Is your little one starting kindergarten soon? Maybe they're just a year away? The Literacy & Learning Center is here to help. As a follow-up to the special series for caregivers and their toddlers, Tinker Time for Tots, which showcased practical activities that parents can seamlessly incorporate into daily routines, TL&LC will host Ready, Set, Learn! A Parent's Guide. This free one-hour workshop is packed with fun and practical tips that you can start using right away to get your child ready for school success, no matter their age.


Open to All!

While this event is primarily designed for parents of incoming kindergartners, we want to emphasize that all parents with young children are welcome. This is a great opportunity to learn valuable skills to help your child thrive, from essential self-care like using the restroom independently to fostering a love of learning through play and exploration.


While this class is specifically directed to caregivers, childcare will be provided for those who prefer to bring their children.


Key Takeaways for Caregivers:

  • Independence: Encourage self-care skills like dressing and using the restroom.

  • Literacy Fundamentals: Spark a love of reading with daily story time and learning letter sounds.

  • Social Skills: Play dates, following directions, and taking turns are essential for school success.

  • Math Readiness: Counting, sorting, and recognizing shapes are fundamental building blocks.

  • Cognitive Development: Encourage open-ended play and creative expression.

And there is no need to worry about remembering all of the information that will be presented. Handouts will be provided to help you when you get home.
