Your child is old enough to start kindergarten, but are they ready? Are you? At this special presentation, both you and your child will get a brief overview of what is expected before your child even enters the classroom.
This program is for children who will be 5 years old by July 31, 2026. Registration is required, and space is limited, but the event is free. Families will receive a backpack, books and school supplies.
Kindergarten Prep is held at various branches of the St. Louis County Library in morning, afternoon and evening sessions. See dates above.
