Course Description - This course is designed to equip Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) and Pre-K teachers with effective strategies to prepare young children for a successful transition to kindergarten throughout the school year. We will explore developmentally appropriate practices that support school readiness across eight key domains, including language and literacy, mathematics, social-emotional development, art, science, and approaches to learning. Through interactive learning activities, such as dramatic play, block play, and other hands-on activities, you will be able to identify kindergarten readiness skills, implement evidence-based instructional strategies, and design meaningful learning experiences that promote confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning. You have a critical role in helping children develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to thrive as they enter kindergarten and continue their educational journey.
