Hey there, parents of soon-to-be kindergarteners! Are you wondering if your little one is ready for the big leagues of elementary school? Well, wonder no more! DaVinci Academy in Campbell, California, is opening its doors for a special Kindergarten Readiness Class, and it will be a hoot and a half!
What's the Deal?
Picture this: It's a Saturday morning, and instead of watching cartoons in their PJs, your kiddo gets to play school for real. They'll get to hang out in a kindergarten classroom with real teachers for a whole hour. It's like a sneak peek into their future, minus the homework (phew!).
When and Where?
Mark your calendars for December 7, 2024. The doors swing open at 10:15 AM, but don't dawdle! They shut tight at 10:30 AM when the fun begins. You don't want to miss out on this academic adventure!
What's on the Menu?
Your little Einstein will get a taste of everything kindergarten has to offer:
- Reading: Maybe they'll discover their inner bookworm!
- Math: Count on some number fun.
- Handwriting: Time to practice those ABCs and 123s.
But don't worry, it's not all serious business. The DaVinci teachers know how to make learning a blast. They're basically the Mary Poppins of education - making the medicine go down with a spoonful of sugar (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Why Should You Care?
Kindergarten isn't just preschool with bigger kids. It's a whole new ball game with:
- More focus time (bye-bye, constant playtime)
- Academic progress (hello, report cards!)
- Following directions (no more "I can't hear you" excuses)
This class lets you see how your child handles these new challenges. Can they sit still for more than 30 seconds? Do they raise their hand or shout out answers like they're on a game show? It's all about whether they're ready for the K life.
What's In It for the Parents?
You get to be a fly on the wall! One parent gets to sit in and watch the whole shebang. It's like being a secret agent, observing how your child interacts with the teacher and tackles new tasks. Plus, after the class, you can chat with teachers and staff about your burning questions. They might even let you schedule a personal tour during actual school hours - fancy!
How to Join the Party
Signing up is easier than getting your kid to eat vegetables. Just grab one ticket per parent-child duo. Make sure you use the name of the parent who'll be attending - no switcheroos allowed!
Once you've signed up, the DaVinci team will give you a ring to confirm a few things:
- That you're really coming (no ghosting allowed!)
- Your child is either 4 or 5 years old (sorry, no teenagers allowed in kindergarten)
- Your child's name (they're not psychic, after all)
Why do they need the name? It is to make your little one feel like a VIP, of course! Nothing says "welcome to school," like seeing your name on a desk or activity sheet.
The Fine Print
Remember, this isn't just a drop-off playdate. It's a chance for your child to dip their toes into the kindergarten pool before diving in headfirst. The DaVinci team will be watching to see how your child does with:
- Participation (no wallflowers here!)
- Following directions (left, right, up, down - can they keep up?)
- Interest and willingness (enthusiasm is the name of the game)
These are all key ingredients in the recipe for kindergarten success. Think of it as a taste test for both you and your child.
Ready, Set, Kindergarten!
So, are you ready to see if your little one is ready for the big K? The DaVinci Academy team is chomping at the bit to meet you and your future kindergartener. Who knows? This might start a beautiful friendship - or at least a fun Saturday morning adventure.
Remember, kindergarten is a big step for little feet. But with a little preparation (and maybe a lot of coffee for the parents), your child will be ready to take on the world - or at least the playground. So come on down to DaVinci Academy on December 7th and let the kindergarten games begin!
