- Talking and singing with your baby
- Playing with play dough
- Building things with blocks and legos
- Walking on a nature trail
- Learning your letters
Of course, this is a trick
question! The answer is everything you
do with your child helps build skills needed for school readiness. Children
need a variety of experiences from the time they are born to the time they
enter school to gain background knowledge and build vocabulary. Children (and adults!) learn from watching
others, then doing. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Getting dirty is a bonus!
On Saturday April 6th,
from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm, Berkshire United Way will host the 7th
Annual School Readiness Fair in partnership with the Berkshire Athenaeum and
Wee Read - special thanks to Mountain One for sponsoring the event!
Children and families will
have the opportunity to play and learn at activity stations. We will have a Mad Scientist on hand to make
glow bracelets and Pittsfield Public
Schools will be onsite for Kindergarten registrations.
Through our collaborations with partners throughout the county, we are committed to making sure children get the skills they need to succeed. Come join the fun!
