Start getting your little one prepared for kindergarten with a six-week prep course in the academic and social skills they’ll need to thrive in school!
Countdown to Kindergarten is a new six-week series from the Klamath County Libraries, starting the week of April 26th and running through the first week in June. We’ll host the course at three of our branch libraries:
- Chiloquin Branch Library, 140 South First Street: Tuesdays at 2pm starting April 27th
- South Suburban Branch Library, 3625 Summers Lane in Klamath Falls: Wednesdays at 2pm starting April 28th
- Malin Branch Library, 2307 Front Street: Thursdays at 2pm starting April 29th
You only need to register once to attend all six classes! To register, call your preferred library: Chiloquin at 541-783-3315, South Suburban at 541-273-3679, and Malin at 541-723-5210.
Each 45- to 60-minute Countdown to Kindergarten “class” will help little ones develop academic and social skills – fine motor skills, early literacy, problem-solving and more – through group activities, interactive learning stations and art projects. We’ll also provide take-home materials to help parents/caregivers reinforce the skills taught in class and to work on over the summer.
The program is limited to children who will be attending Kindergarten in fall 2021, and children attending both public/private as well as homeschool are welcome. An adult will need to be present in the library while Countdown to Kindergarten is in session.
