Countdown to Kindergarten!
Are you ready for Kindergarten? This model classroom welcomes kids to take part in a typical Kindergarten experience while adults can ask staff “teachers” questions they may have about Kindergarten. Ride the bus to school, put your belongings in a backpack, and choose an activity that will help you practice going to Kindergarten!
Being ready for Kindergarten can make all the difference in a child’s introduction to formal education. When families work together to prepare a child for school, everybody knows more about what to expect and what they can do to support their child. The Countdown to Kindergarten! classroom includes a math and science area, dramatic play area, reading and writing corner, and creative arts area. Parents and teachers will find resources to support many aspects of a child’s development including curiosity, social and emotional maturity, independence skills, and physical health.
This exhibit also serves as a training center for child care providers and teachers; a place to share insights and discuss how best to help students from their first days of preschool and school. Hop on the bus and let’s get going!
