COUNTDOWN TO KINDERGARTEN!


                                                         

 The Milton Early Childhood Alliance is very happy to sponsor an initiative called "Countdown to Kindergarten!". We have heard from many parents and teachers that the transition into kindergarten can be a challenging one for children and families.  It is a big step for children who are moving from home, preschool, or other care setting into a new school environment.  Milton cares and is joining together to show you that we do!

All children who are entering a Milton kindergarten program (public school and some private) receive a free, bright yellow t-shirt that says "I'm Going to Kindergarten!" 

Families with children who will attend public school programs receive their t-shirts at the public school screenings.   Children who are attending private kindergarten programs obtain their shirts through their school, should the school choose to participate.

KINDERGARTEN DAYS
 In collaboration with some Milton area businesses who want to let children know how important their education is to all of us, we are offering Kindergarten Days from August 26th
through September 1st
. During this week, the sponsors listed here will offer free gifts or discounts to children who are entering kindergarten this fall and wear their bright yellow “I’m Going To Kindergarten!” t-shirt. Participating businesses will display a special sign in their window to remind you to visit them. You don’t need to turn anything in to take advantage of the offers – but your child must be present and wearing his or her yellow Kindergarten t-shirt. As you visit our sponsors, please join us in thanking each of them for their support of Milton’s youngest school children!
