Kindergarten: Helping Your Child Make the Move

EDUCATION CONNECTION’s hugely popular Kindergarten readiness guide is now available in Spanish! Both the English and Spanish versions of the guide were revised in 2008 to meet the State Department of Education’s new requirements.

Kindergarten: Helping Your Child Make the Move was created to help children and their families prepare for Kindergarten by creating a solid foundation for success in the school setting. This guide is intended to provide basic information and practical suggestions for parents/guardians as they help their children "make the move."
