Event Overview
That’s right! We said Kindergarten. Can you believe it?! If you’re still in denial that you are going to have a child in Kindergarten next year (or maybe you’re even planning ahead), we encourage you to join Jane as she discusses the “Transitioning to Kindergarten” process.
Kindergarten has changed so much over the past decade, so you may need some tips and conversation to help support your child. Come find out about Kindergarten expectations, how to help ready your child, how to look for signs of stress and how to help your child cope. If parents are aware that this can be a difficult transition, they can work to make it less trying - for everyone.
Parents Only. Please feel free to come with prepared questions or just listen and soak in the great advice. Tears optional! Need a sitter to attend this event? Get $50 credit at UrbanSitter by signing up at: www.urbansitter.com/promo/dabblekids
