🌟 Step Up to Kindergarten – Getting Ready for Success!
Did you know? Children who practice a few basic skills before Kindergarten often feel more confident and ready to learn!
Here’s how you can help your child get ahead:
 ✅ Counting & Recognition: Count to 10 and recognize their name.
 ✅ Self-Care Skills: Use the bathroom independently, wash hands, dress themselves, and zip coats.
 ✅ Fine Motor Skills: Hold a pencil, use child-friendly scissors, open/close lunchboxes and backpacks.
 ✅ Organization: Write their name on notebooks, agendas, and school supplies.
 ✅ Practical Skills: Practice opening a milk carton and handling lunch items.
💡 Make it fun and low-stress: play “getting dressed races,” color together, or turn routines into games!
