READY! For Kindergarten provides workshops and take-home materials and tools, to inspire and empower parents and caregivers to help babies and young children develop strong brain connections that determine how they will think, learn and grow. Parents and caregivers attend a series of workshops each year, based on their child’s age. They learn new skills and helpful tips to nurture development in ways that foster academic skills and personal behaviors to boost children’s motivation, perseverance and engagement in learning. READY! facilitates interactions and active learning by using movement, play, exploration, communication and all of a child’s senses- seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting.
