KiPS! THIS SUMMER
Kindergarten Prep School is a program designed to provide academic and social skills over the summer to children who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. Any child who is eligible for kindergarten in the Jay Schools for the 2013-2014 school year may register for the program. The program is free of charge and will last for 10 weeks over the summer. It is held EVERY Tuesday from June 4th through August th from 9 a.m. to noon. Transportation may be provided by the Jay Schools or parents can drop children off at the library. Children spend time in small groups learning such skills as how to stand in line, how to raise their hands to ask questions, how to participate in group activities, how to walk from one area to another. They also practice academics in math, reading, art, gym, small motor skills, music, and writing. To register a child for KiPS, fill out the form received at Kindergarten Round-up or pick one up at the library and return it ASAP. Deadline to register is April 30. Tuesdays will be very active times in the children’s area at the library this summer!
