5 Easy Kindergarten-Readiness Activities for Home

Families often ask how to support kindergarten readiness at home. Good news: it doesn't take worksheets.

1. Read together daily — even 10 minutes builds vocabulary. 2. Practice self-help skills: zipping jackets, opening lunch containers. 3. Play rhyming games in the car. 4. Count everything — stairs, crackers, crayons. 5. Draw and tell stories about the pictures.

At daycare we weave these same skills into our preschool program every day.
