I’m Going to Kindergarten!

Going to kindergarten is important. Children can feel excited–and a bit worried. This colorful book, sold in five-packs, helps children think about the new experience of going to kindergarten by addressing cognitive and social-emotional topics. As adults read the pages and help children write and draw, children talk about what they already know about kindergarten and anticipate what they will do in school. This book provides children with a thoughtful and fun way to prepare themselves. And it becomes a special keepsake for the family! Detailed lesson plans offer four different ways educators and caregivers can use the booklet:

with the children in their classroom or family child care home;

with parents in a parent-education workshop;

with parents and children together at a parent-child activity event;

with a parent and child together during a home visit.
