In today’s fast-paced, microwaveable society, we
are always on the go, rushing to and from work with
stops along the way at the supermarket, the
dry-cleaners, and on and on. In addition, the lawn
needs mowing, and it’s time to take the dog to the
vet. Parents of young children are also faced with
the prospect that their child will soon be starting to
school.

When your child arrives at school that first day of
kindergarten, he/she is beginning a journey of
learning that will take him /her through the years of
early childhood to the late teens and beyond. The
better prepared he/she is when they arrive for that
first day of school, the easier this journey of
learning will be. As parents, we know this, but a
problem we face in today’s society is determining
what our children need to know, and finding the
time to help them learn.

This book is designed to answer those questions
for you. It focuses on the skills and abilities your
child will need to be successful in school. The
activities are designed to address the specific skills
that will be most useful as your child prepares to
begin his/her journey of learning. The second
feature of this book shows you how to address and
work on those skills as you are on the go, or as you
are doing chores around the house.
