MAKING THE MOST OF SUMMER

Created by Ready for School and delivered by teachers, our Kindergarten Readiness Camp combines the routines of a typical school day with play to build the academic and social skills that kindergarten teachers say they want to see in their students. When a child is curious, asks questions, and is comfortable in the classroom environment, it helps with being ready to learn.

Beyond the camp, Ready for School delivers both english and spanish Home Learning Kits, which provide guides and engaging activities that lead your child toward success in kindergarten and beyond.

With children at the heart of what we do, it is our mission to see that all children in our community reach kindergarten more confident, INSPIRED, and ready.

Start Ready.

Stay Ready.

Entering kindergarten is one of the most important transitions a child will make. Since 2014, Ready for School has partnered with local school districts to deliver a Kindergarten Readiness Camp with powerful results.

Realizing that each child and family are unique, we have created different learning paths to support families in the crucial summer months leading up to kindergarten.
