 It can be nerve wracking sending your kids to school and not really have an idea of what what they're gonna do when gearing up for kindergarten gives parents that knowledge and the some of the skills building. I think it's a great program because not only does it teach the children what they need to learn for kindergarten but it also teaches the parents what we need to do to get them ready for kindergarten. The parent gets the same knowledge what we need to do for the kids before going to kindergarten and what other things need to be prepared for the kids. What I like best about program is that parents are included in that. I don't think that there is any other programs where parents get along with kids that education and skills so they learn with their child. When you tell parents about maybe the skills that they can work with their child on it's different than seeing it. You play a game and you see right there what is your child missing that they can learn all letters or how to do game or just like science experiments that thinking why did this happen and they see other kids that see their child they see kind of expectations so it's it's it's so powerful I think. And the take home activities are wonderful they're educational but they're also fun. Some parents are very afraid of kindergarten with all the standards that changed and now they see that their activities that are really simple that they can do at home with all those lesson plans that are provided in that booklet. Also for a parent I think that it's fun seeing your kids have fun learning and then have a place to ask questions and be curious and see why do we need this or how do we do this and then learn from each other. I have seen you know positive things in my child I have seen positive things with you know parents in the class and everybody being able to share their experiences and their concerns and you know what has worked for them and getting kids ready for next year and I think it's just been great great opportunity for everyone involved. There's so much higher expectations in kindergarten and how are we going to get our kids there if we don't set them up. It just seems like expectations are so much higher now than even when I was a child in kindergarten and they'll be challenged a lot more so being prepared for that is good. They are expecting a lot more out of kids you know and I've heard some parents say that kindergarten is just a lot of play. The more that I'm looking at it and the more that I'm learning in here and stuff is just really not as much as I thought you know that they are really going to be learning a lot more. Learning what we should be have her prepared for I guess you know as far as numbers and letters and starting to read sight words those kind of things has kind of brought it to our attention and and having this time over the summer to prepare for that is good because I guess I was my first child in kindergarten I wasn't sure what to expect so I do find it has been very helpful.
