Kindergarten Readiness

Starting kindergarten is a milestone children and their families look forward to with great excitement and anticipation. Getting "ready" for kindergarten can mean many things - from getting a new book bag to practicing opening your own milk carton. Project Enlightenment offers two informational handouts for families getting ready to make the transition to kindergarten:

• Getting a Good Start in Kindergarten — list of activities and ideas to help prepare your child for kindergarten
• Developmental Expectations — list of typical expectations and skills your child will need to enter kindergarten
• Easing the Transition — ideas and information about how to make the transition into kindergarten easier for you and your child
• Supporting School Readiness — a transition program for Wake County elementary schools, preschools and childcare centers
