Kindergarten is not a preparation for school. Kindergarten is a part of your child’s life along with family time, extracurricular activities such as dance or participating in cultural or community groups. Skills, knowledge and experiences gained at kindergarten, within the family environment or as a part of a community will help set your child up for success in life of which kindergarten and school are a part of.
