KinderBoost™ Application
Welcome to KinderBoost™!

We are pleased to offer a two-week KinderBoost™ program for your child. This two-week program will be run by teachers who will work together to provide a variety of activities to prepare your child for the start of Kindergarten.  

On the first day of the program, we invite parents and guardians to join us for a Kindergarten Readiness Workshop. During this time, you will receive helpful hints and suggestions to help you with preparing your child for Kindergarten. You will also have the opportunity to meet other school staff, as well as meet other Kindergarten families. In addition, we will be giving away Family Literacy Kits full of fun activities for you to use with your child at home.

First Day of Program – Kindergarten Readiness Workshop Materials given to the parent/guardian:
• Is Your Child Prepared for Kindergarten Checklist
• Pre-Reading Skills for Reading Success Checklist
• Phonemic Awareness and Math Magnetic Activity Tins & Parent Handout

The last day of the program, we ask that you join your child for a special family literacy event and graduation ceremony. This will include literacy activities for you to participate in with your child, as well as additional games and activities to take home. Immediately after the Family Literacy Event will be a ceremony where your child will receive a graduation certificate along with a brand-new backpack full of school supplies! We certainly hope that you can join us for these special activities!

Last Day of Program - Family Literacy Event & Graduation Celebration Materials given to the parent/guardian:
• Learning Games and Activities
• KinderBoost™ Graduation Certificate
• Backpack with school supplies and learning materials

Materials given directly to children (for use at home together with their family):

Some learning materials will be given directly to the children during KinderBoost™, however, we suggest you take some time to look over the materials and use them together as a family!
