The purpose of this program is to help parents and caregivers to support children through the transition from childcare, nursery school or home to the school setting. Parents and caregivers will learn how they can use everyday activities as well as items ordinarily found in the home to help children build a strong foundation for learning. The four domains of early learning will be explored: Cognitive Skills, Social-Emotional Skills, Learning Skills and Physical Motor Skills.


This is #1 of the series of short programs that helps parents and caregivers to understand how they can use everyday interactions and materials found in the home to help their child prepare for kindergarten. Each video explores a different domain of early learning and demonstrates ways in which parents/caregivers can foster skill development in each area. The final video provides guidance for parents and caregivers who have concerns about their child's level of "readiness" for school.
