Kindergarten Prep


Kindergarten Prep

Our Kindergarten Preparation Program helps your child develop all the essential skills needed for a successful start to their school journey. Through age-appropriate activities and structured learning experiences, we focus on building academic readiness, social skills, emotional regulation, and physical development that kindergarten teachers expect. Our close partnerships with local school systems ensure our curriculum aligns with kindergarten standards, making the transition smooth and confidence-building for your child. At Connected Pathways, we transform the potentially stressful kindergarten transition into an exciting milestone by ensuring your child arrives fully prepared and eager to learn.
