Do you want to start a Kindergarten Readiness program for the preschoolers at your public library? You will leave this session armed with an easily adaptable, grab-and-go curriculum for a six-session series of enhanced story times designed to help get preschoolers and their caregivers ready for a strong start in Kindergarten. The Ready, Set, Kindergarten curriculum was originally created by the Brooklyn Public Library and we have adapted it for our community. We will share our own experiences of hosting the Ready, Set, Kindergarten series both at our library and offsite with community partners. We will help you develop strategies to successfully adapt and run this program in your own community. Every child deserves a bright future and this workshop will give you some of the tools you need to make your library a valuable partner in early learning education.
