Countdown To Kindergarten ...Improved!

Cute girl at Countdown To KindergartenCountdown to Kindergarten is new and improved. Now inserted into annual registration at local school districts, the number of participants is expected to quadruple from 300 last year.

 

TUW is partnering with school districts to support early kindergarten registration because it affects school funding and allows parents to access information about enhancing their children's school readiness and early literacy skills

 

Materials will be available at all local elementary schools in the Tricounty area. Look for information about locations and dates on our website later this month.
