Children Ready for Kinder

Summer School Academy
Parents if you have a child who will be entering Kindergarten in the Fall and if you live within one of the school readiness’ school districts, your child may be eligible to participate in the Children Ready for Kinder (Summer School Academy).

What is Children Ready for Kinder?
This program is a 3-4 week, 4 hours per day summer school session that introduces a child to the kindergarten classroom environment. Children are exposed to an actual classroom setting and are taught entry-level skills in social and academic development. The classes are taught by a Certificated Teacher (in many cases the academy teacher may be your child’s teacher in the Fall). Each of the school districts set the dates for the Academy, which is normally a week after the current school year.

	Who is eligible? * the program is free to children who will be entering Kindergarten in the Fall; * will attend Kindergarten at one of the designated School Readiness Schools; and * preference is given to children entering Kinder with no prior preschool experience.
	Please contact your local school to enroll your child or to get more information about the Children Ready for Kinder Summer School Academy.
