Kindergarten 101: Virtual bootcamp for parents of incoming kinders
This 8-week, virtual summer program aims to empower parents to learn and teach social-emotional skills to their children so they can get their child ready for kindergarten. Based on 20 years of experience, Dr. Beth Trammell has created weekly content that is practical and easy-to-implement - but oh so relevant to the kindergarten classroom! Also included, TWO live Zoom sessions with Dr. Trammell where individual questions can be asked! This class is priced at $27 to be accessible to as many families as possible. The cost for a group like this would be valued well over $400. Secure your spot now by registering at: https://forms.gle/1Fed5v4ZGrXRrYLP9

FAQs
What if I can’t make it to the Live Zoom?
No problem! We will record the session and send it to your inbox for viewing when you’re able.
Will there be time for individual questions?
Yes! Both live sessions will have a time for participants to drop questions in the Chat box. If questions can’t be answered because of time constraints, we will work to address them in the upcoming week’s content.
What if I am on vacation one week?
No problem! The content is meant to be accessible to you each week for you to work through at your pace. We will have a schedule and new content will come Sunday evening each week of the program. If you don’t get to it right away, just get to it when you can!
What will each week’s content actually be?
This is a great question! Each week, you will receive an email with a video from Dr. Beth Trammell about the week’s focus (see schedule). Each email will also include some additional resources – videos, podcasts, TedTalks, etc. – to build your skills and confidence. If you don’t get to working through all of the materials, no worries! Just go at your own pace.
