Here's what families are saying about South Kitsap School District’s FREE Ready for Kindergarten SK workshops!

“Great program! I wish I knew about it sooner!”

“This program is such a wonderful resource that really gives incentive to work with our children. Thanks for giving us the tools and motivation to teach and spend quality time with our kids.”

"Thanks again for putting on a great program. Of all the classes we have attended so far in maintaining our foster parent license, READY! for Kindergarten is by far the best program we have been involved with and we look forward and we look forward to coming to each session."

“I have learned so much by attending these sessions. They truly have been a great help.”

"READY! provided us with tools and activities that we would not have otherwise been able to afford or thought to use with our child."

“Thank you once again for the guidance you give.”

“Awesome toys that were handed out. You are doing great work for the kids in our school district.”

“Great program. Excellent source of good advice and educational information. I really appreciate being a part of it.”

"They teach you what is age-appropriate learning and what each age can 'handle' while encouraging you to have fun trying new things with your child at home."

"I like how they tell you what most children know upon entering kindergarten so we know what we are working toward."

"It has really helped me pay attention to my ratio of positive and negative messages to my children. I talk and listen a lot more now."

"READY! has provided books, tools, toys and games that have enhanced the learning of my child."

"It is fun to learn new songs (and new ways to sing old songs) to teach your children counting, the alphabet, and other concepts."

Tip for food texture sensitivity: Let your child play with their food. Seriously.

It can help with trying new foods (other ideas here): https://www.theottoolbox.com/trying-new-foods

Touching, smelling, and exploring food with hands (no pressure to eat!) can build sensory tolerance and reduce fear around new textures.

Need more tips? We’ve got a full guide with strategies, a sample food texture progression, and signs it’s time to call in a feeding therapist.

What if our children aren’t being defiant… but human?

So often, we jump to correction before connection. But when we lead with curiosity—“I think you forgot”—we leave room for growth instead of shame.

Kids rise to the story we tell about them. When we believe in their goodness, they begin to believe it too. 💛

Did you know that March is National Reading Month? Thanks, Parents as Teachers National Center!

March is National Reading Month!

Reading together does so much more than build early literacy, it also strengthens relationships.

Parent educators have noticed that sharing books deepens family connection in meaningful ways:
📚 More shared attention between caregivers and their children
📚Greater father involvement in everyday learning moments
📚Parents discovering new, joyful ways to weave books into daily routines
📚Stronger connections formed among families in the community
📚Increased involvement from teen parents

Small moments with a book can spark big growth for children, caregivers, and communities alike. 📖
