Basic Skills

The first kindergarten weeks will be much easier on your child if he/she:

• can take care of their own needs, such as going to the bathroom, washing hands, and dressing.
• can adapt to different social situations, such as being in a classroom with a teacher and other kids without a parent present.
• develop fine motor skills, such as cutting with scissors and other crafts.
