Kindergarten, Here I Come!

Carole Moyer's all-day kindergarten class eagerly raises their hands to answer a question after she drew a rectangle on the board at her school in Columbus, Ohio, in May, 2002. Ohio is one of 12 states that require children to attend kindergarten at least a half day. The state funds all-day programs only for districts with average or below-average poverty levels.

Leanne Grace, Director of the Rainbow Hill School and Liz Jordan, Director of the Wyoming Valley United Way's Success by 6 Initative will introduce parents to the parent activity guide developed by the Department of Education and the Department of Welfare. Each participant will recieve a copy of the guide that is filled with fun activities to give your child the foundation for positive and happy future school experiences. Children will be treated to a storytime session that will focus on early learning skills.
