When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. This is an exciting time in which children's worlds are expanding beyond the home and family to encompass new playmates and experiences. We want this experience to encourage children's curiosity and to foster a love for learning. We are implementing the Success For All reading program developed by Johns Hopkins University. KinderRoots begins mid-year providing an introduction to reading instruction and is designed to be implemented in conjunction with the rest of the Early Learning Program.
Parental involvement plays a critical role in a child's success in school.
Kindergarten is an adjustment period for both parents and children. We ask that parents make a commitment to read to or with their child for 20 minutes each night. It can be a special time for you and your child. Reading aloud helps to develop listening and pre-reading skills. You are the most important example your child has and reading aloud demonstrates your need for and appreciation of books.
