Creative Discovery Museum invites all area rising kindergartners to register for Countdown to Kindergarten, a free program that will help prepare for the first year of “Big School.”
“According to a study by Chattanooga 2.0, only 40 percent of Hamilton County kindergarteners arrive on the first day of school prepared with the skills needed to succeed. Beginning kindergarten is a monumental transition for both children and parents. Many factors contribute to kindergarten readiness outside of a child’s ability to say the ABC’s and count. In an effort to ensure that rising kindergartners and their caregivers have access to free resources and fun activities, the Museum will seek to enroll more than 2,000 children as part of a broader community-wide effort to improve school readiness throughout the region,” officials said.
