United Way: Ready, Set, Kindergarten Program
Green Sea Floyds Elementary is excited to partner with United Way of Horry County to host Ready, Set, Kindergarten!, a free program specifically designed for children who will enter kindergarten in Fall 2027.
This program is not for students who are currently enrolled in kindergarten. It is an opportunity for our future kindergarteners and their families to get a head start on the transition to school by experiencing the kindergarten environment before their first official day.
During each session, rising kindergarteners will have the opportunity to visit an actual kindergarten classroom, meet a kindergarten teacher, and learn what a typical first day of school will look and feel like. These early experiences can help children become more familiar and comfortable with the school setting while building excitement and confidence about beginning kindergarten.
Parents and caregivers will also receive practical resources to help prepare their child for school. Families will receive a Kindergarten Readiness Checklist and simple activities they can practice together at home. Parents will also learn more about what children need to know and be able to do as they prepare for kindergarten.
Who should attend? Any child who will be starting kindergarten for the first time in Fall 2027 and their parent or caregiver. Your child does not have to be zoned for or planning to attend Green Sea Floyds Elementary. The program is open to rising kindergarteners throughout Horry County, and families may attend the location that is most convenient for them.
Green Sea Floyds Elementary Sessions
All sessions begin at 9:00 AM and last approximately 45–60 minutes.
