Kindergarten Readiness
Help your four-year old get ready for kindergarten!

Stop by the Children's Services desk to pick up a 2007 - 2008 calendar full of activities designed to develop the skills your child will need to start school.  If you bring your four-year old with you when you pick up the calendar during the month of September, your child will receive a special surprise!  Calendars, available in both English and in Spanish, are generously provided by the United Way of Lake County. 
 

Forget a textbook at school?
