Free Math Curriculum

Little Steps to Sucess
Your neighborhood elementary school is offering a program called “Little Steps to School Success” for you and your three, four, or five--year-old child (who is not yet enrolled in kindergarten). Your child will enjoy a special evening of stories and activities at the school. Each event is a special time for you and your preschooler only. You must accompany your preschooler, so there will be free childcare available for any siblings. These activities will take place in your child’s future kindergarten classroom and are led by teachers and staff from the school. The evening begins with a read-aloud by the kindergarten teacher, and is followed by fun activities to build skills your child will need for entering kindergarten. Your child will meet new friends who will be future classmates, meet his or her future kindergarten teacher, engage in skill-building activities that you can continue to do at home, and have fun. Each family that attends will receive a free book as well as a packet of activities to do together at home to reinforce skills.

Don’t miss out on this positive experience for your preschooler!
