[DONATE] In this episode of The Collective Us, NMCAA Education Coach Manager Dru O’Connor and Manton Elementary Principal JP Katona discuss how families, preschool programs, and elementary schools can prepare children for kindergarten.
They explain that school readiness is about more than letters and numbers. Independence, communication, emotional regulation, following directions, and building relationships are equally important. NMCAA and Manton support the transition through teacher visits, school tours, shared assessments, and ongoing communication.
Parents can help through simple activities such as reading, talking, counting, playing, cooking, and encouraging children to complete everyday tasks independently. The episode also highlights junior kindergarten as an option for children who may benefit from additional time and support.
The main takeaway is that strong partnerships among families and educators help children enter school feeling confident, prepared, and ready to learn.
