1. Make a list of all the skills and knowledge your child will need to be successful in kindergarten, such as basic math, reading, writing, science, social studies, etc.
2. Talk with your child about what they’re excited to learn in kindergarten and why it's important.
3. Create a study plan together that includes both fun activities and academic learning.
4. Encourage your child to read books and watch videos related to their upcoming school year.
5. Help your child practice counting, telling time, and other basic skills needed in kindergarten.
6. Set up an organized workspace at home with supplies like paper, pencils, crayons, and scissors.
7. Visit the school or observe classes before your child starts kindergarten so you can get a better idea of the classroom environment.
8. Make sure your child has comfortable clothes and shoes for the new school year.
