Welcome to “Ready, Set, Kindergarten!” 🎉

Is your child ready to take their first exciting step toward kindergarten? This engaging and interactive class is designed to give your little learner the skills they need to feel confident and prepared. Over 16 weeks of hands-on activities, games, and exploration, we’ll cover everything from letters and numbers to science, social skills, and creative arts.

Each week, we’ll dive into a new theme, introducing foundational skills in math, literacy, and emotional awareness—all while having fun! Whether your child is in preschool, homeschooled, or simply getting ready for kindergarten, this class will provide the tools they need to thrive. With a focus on interactive, play-based learning, we’ll build both academic and social-emotional skills, setting them up for success.

I’m a passionate and experienced teacher who loves creating a classroom filled with energy, creativity, and discovery. I keep class sizes small (no more than 6 students) to give each child the attention and support they need. With a blend of weekly lessons, hands-on projects, fun science experiments, and social-emotional activities, your child will be more than ready—and excited—for kindergarten!
