Prepare your preschooler for kindergarten success
How can you help your child get ready for kindergarten? Come and find out at Grace Valley Christian Academy’s free kindergarten readiness parent seminar at 7 p.m. Thursday in the GVCA kindergarten classroom, 27173 County Road 98 in rural West Davis.
The seminar will give parents fun and creative activities to enhance their preschoolers’ beginning math and reading skills. Experienced teachers will offer tips for helping children recognize letters and words, increasing their reading comprehension, learning basic math principles, and developing fine motor skills. Parents will also receive free materials to help their children develop neat handwriting.
Information also will be available about GVCA’s kindergarten readiness summer program, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon Mondays through Thursdays, July 5-21. Designed for children entering kindergarten either this fall or in fall 2012, these classes provide training in early reading and math skills in a nurturing classroom setting.
Students learn to recognize commonly used words, complete a preparatory handwriting program, and work on number recognition, counting, and other early math concepts. Art projects and other activities reinforce these academic skills and foster creativity.
For more information, or to sign up, call (530) 758-6590 or visit http://www.gracevalley.org and follow the links for the academy.
