Welcome to Kindergarten!

Each and every child is entering kindergarten with different social and intellectual skills.  For some children this is their first experience in a large group and it can be a little overwhelming.

You know your child and his/her behavior at home but sometimes these first few weeks of kindergarten can be especially difficult.   You should expect your child to be more tired than usual and maybe a little crankier until they have adjusted to their new schedule.

As your child grows and makes new friends this year you will hear more and more about the fun he/she is having at school.
