For the Class of 2022! (going into Kindergarten this fall)

The Children's Museum is once again hosting
Kindergarten!...Here I Come!
This is an exciting event to celebrate this milestone and create a healthy transition not just for children, but for their parents as well. We also work to strengthen the idea that community support is essential as part of our kids' development of character and emotional well-being.
Children can:
Meet Mr. McFeely
Receive a "Class of 2022" t-shirt and kindergarten story book
Meet community helpers such as a crossing guard
Climb aboard a real school bus
Take part in activities such as making a craft for their first memories of school and a lot of other “fun” hands-on activities
Have free hearing, vision, speech and language screenings
Receive a "Class of 2022" t-shirt and kindergarten story book
Take part in a live radio broadcast

Parents and caregivers receive valuable information on preparing children for kindergarten and can consult with experts in nutrition, after school programs, bullying, proper immunization and more. Free admission for every child entering kindergarten and one parent. (Kindergarten celebration activities take place from 9 am to 1 pm. Afterwards the kindergarten children and the adult accompanying them can remain in the Museum to enjoy the rest of the Museum until closing time at 5 pm.)
