Meet the Teachers!

Mrs. Brown

Miss Makayla

We are so excited to have your child in kindergarten at Quest!

​

We will have 4 all-day classes, and

1 half-day morning kindergarten class next year.

Is your child ready?

Things to work on during the summer so your child can

hit the ground running on the first day of school:

​

1. Name all upper and lowercase letters quickly in random order
2. Write their name with an uppercase for

the first letter, & lowercase for the

remaining letters.

• Count without mistakes to 20.

Academic Knowledge

These are the minimum needed to be ready, you and you child are definitely welcome to work on more!

Learning Ideas:

The best thing is time with a loving adult helping them practice, in real world situations and even fun hands-on experiences such as:

• Writing in sugar/salt
• Sidewalk chalk
• Making letters with playdoh
• Finding the letters for their own name and the names of family members in books, signs, etc.
• Learn to Read - Duolingo ABC on the App Store
• Quest Alphabet Song
• Waterford Upstart Early Learning Program – Online Registration
• Number blocks and Alpha blocks (youtube)
