Kinder-Kickstart Description: 

The goal of Mat-Su Kinder Kick-Start is to help children prepare socially, emotionally, and academically for kindergarten.  Children will develop both fine and gross motor skills through a variety of activities while fostering self-control, the ability to follow simple directions and a beginning understanding of personal responsibility, group, and individual cooperation.  KinderKick-Start will encourage letter recognition, letter sounds, beginning phonics, number sense, rhymes, process and instructional art, early science, and social studies.   Much of the discovery will be through creative hands-on activities, music, rhymes, and play-based learning.
