STEP 1: GET READY

Children start learning as soon they are born. That makes you your child’s first and most important teacher, a role you will play all of their life. Every day, there are teachable moments you can use to prepare your child to be ready for school. Help them:

Read and look at books every day
Stick to a regular bedtime and wake-up time
Practice counting real objects — like cereal or crayons
Talk about their feelings and what kindergarten will be like
Meet and play with other children their age

Show respect and use good manners
Find and name letters of the alphabet everywhere you go
Visit and explore libraries, parks, and museums
Use scissors to practice cutting and crayons to draw

Remember: on time, all day, every day!

Starting in kindergarten, a lot of missed days can cause your child to fall behind. Send your child to school every day, unless they are sick. Attending school on a regular basis makes your child feel better about school and themselves. Setting this habit early helps your child do well in school.
