Kindergarten JumpStart

There is strong research demonstrating that readiness in Kindergarten ensures long-term success in school. Skills like following directions, managing emotions and getting along with others, in addition to pre-reading and number skills have long-term implications for future success in school and in life.  

Thanks to a grant from CCRES along with OT and Speech support from Austill's Educational Therapy Services and the CCIU, DCEF is able to bring Kdg JumpStart to incoming kindergarteners in all 10 elementary schools this summer.  Incoming Kdg parents will receive an invitation from your school in the spring with information on how to register.
