Ready! for Kindergarten is a nationally-recognized, quality informational training program FREE for North Idaho residents. The program informs parents and caregivers to prepare children for a happy and successful school experience by focusing on language and literacy.
 
Each course consists of three 2-hour classes during the school year. Classes are available for parents, legal guardians, grandparents and caregivers of children 0-5 years and are being held in several communities across Kootenai County.  First-time participants attend a 30-minute orientation, then take a 2-hour class with other parents of children the same age.  In these fun, hands on classes led by trained facilitators, parents are encouraged to talk, laugh, sing and "play with a purpose" with their children using fun, high-quality educational tools, games, books and activities.  Ready! makes learning enjoyable for the whole family. Remember:  Children who start school ahead, stay ahead...year after year!
 
Free child care is provided on site and families leave each class with a new set of free educational tools and activities to help ensure the little family member is ready for the years ahead. Classes are limited in size and fill up quickly! If you have further questions about Ready! for Kindergarten, please contact Liz Montgomery, Program Coordinator at 208.667.8112 ext. 104.
