Gearing Up for Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a major transition in the life of a child and also for parents/guardians. It's both stressful and exciting! This summer, Pre-K to Grade 3 parent educators will host informational sessions to help you in preparing your child for success in school. These sessions are for parents/guardians in the Anoka-Hennepin School District that have a child(ren) entering kindergarten in fall 2026.
Join us for information, resources and support! Each week a licensed parent educator will meet with parents/guardians for parenting discussions online. The final session will be held in-person for parents and their kindergartener to tour a kindergarten classroom.
Pre-K to Grade 3 parent educators will also host two fun-filled gatherings to connect with other incoming kindergarten families while children play at the playground!
