Kinder-Set Go! is a kindergarten readiness program designed for preschoolers who will attend school in the fall of 2026. It is a parent (or adult caregiver)/child class, held in one-hour sessions, designed to work on skills to help a child prepare for school through interactive play, hands-on activities, and focused instruction for parents. The program runs from September 2025 to April 2026 on Thursday mornings.
