Ready for Kindergarten - Free Parent Workshop at DEE on November 29

FALL Registration is NOW OPEN: https://www.readyforkindergarten.org/sumner

READY! for Kindergarten is a free program that offers age-appropriate targets, trainings and tools for parents and caregivers of children birth to age five that ensure children success in school. Typically funded for school districts, foundations and community organizations.

Parents or caregivers attend workshops specific to the age of their child.
Class recommendation based on their birthdate and the year they will enter kindergarten (Birth to age 1, 1-2 years old, 2-3 years old, 3-4 years old, and 4-5 years old)
Materials and information presented are tailored to the child’s age group. New materials and information provided at each seasonal session.
Multiple dates are offered for family convenience:

If you have multiple children, sign up for two dates or bring an additional adult to attend both workshops.

READY! classes are for parents. One set of handouts and a toolkit is provided for each child, but an adult must attend the class to receive the materials. We cannot give you tools for someone else's child.
Sumner-Bonney Lake School District provides the READY! Program FREE to families within the school district boundaries. Out of district families are required to pay a one time $25 fee for Orientation Materials and a $60 fee for each class attended to cover the costs of the learning tool kits.
