Kinder-Set Go!
Registration for the Fall 2025 session is closed. Registration for the 2026 session opens in July 2026.
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.
For more details, contact Alaina at (208) 922-1025.
Kinder-Set Go! is made possible by support from Tell Me a Story/Joshua’s Memorial Book Drive.
Learn with Me!
Registration for the next session opens Monday, November 3, 2025. The session runs January 3 – April 28, 2026. Learn with Me! It is a free class offered for 3-year-olds with their parent/adult caregiver. The focus of the class is to develop skills in areas of social and emotional growth, language and literacy, math and reasoning, and fine and gross motor skills.

Learn With Me! will be held in a weekly 45-minute session, with whole-group and small-group learning through interactive play, hands-on activities, and focused instruction for parents. The program runs from January 2026 to April 2026 on Tuesday mornings, 11:00-11:45 am.
