COUNTDOWN TO KINDERGARTEN!


 

 The Milton Early Childhood Alliance is very happy to sponsor an initiative called "Countdown to Kindergarten!" . We are entering our fifth year.  We have heard from many parents and teachers that the transition into kindergarten can be a challenging one for children and families.  It is a big step for children who are moving from home, preschool, or other care settings into a new school environment.  Milton cares and is joining together to show you that we do!

All children who are entering a Milton kindergarten program beginning in the Fall of 2007 (either public school or private) received a free bright yellow t-shirt that says "I'm Going to Kindergarten!" 

Families with children who will attend public school programs receive their t-shirts at the public school screenings.   Children who are attending private kindergarten programs will obtain their shirts through their school.

KINDERGARTEN DAYS
September 1-8, 2007

Local businesses and organizations join the Countdown to Kindergarten by offering free giveaways to incoming kindergarteners during the upcoming Kindergarten Days – usually the first week in September.  During this week, just have your child wear his or her yellow “I’m Going to Kindergarten” t-shirt and visit the following sponsors to receive a free gift (this list will change/grow each year)!
