As your child's first and most important teacher, you can help them get off to a great start in kindergarten!

Take a look at the list below; can your five year old sucessfully do all that is listed? Not all five year olds will know or be able to do everything on this list, and that's ok! This list just gives ideas of what you and your child can work on together to get them as ready as possible to start kindergarten, and also give them the best start to the rest of their life! 

​You may be wondering, "Shouldn't they learn all of this in kindergarten? Why do I need to work on these things at home?" Great questions! Did you know that by the time your child is five years old, 90% of their brain is already developed? This means that you have the chance to help build their brains from the time they are born by sharing moments reading books, singing songs, and talking to one another. 

​You can turn everyday moments like mealtime and bathtime into brain building activities before your child starts preschool or kindergarten! As your child's first and best teacher, you've already got what it takes to prepare them to do well in school, graduate, and have a successful life! Want a copy of this flyer to hang on the fridge?
