Kindergarten Ready? Setting Kids up for Success


Chandra Kipfer & Helen Tilley, Occupational Therapists

Mantra Living Inc.
Your child has grown so fast! They will be starting school before you know it!

But is he or she ready for Kindergarten? Do they have the functional physical skills necessary to learn to print, learn to use scissors proficiently, sit still long enough for listening & learning, or dress for the outside independently?

We are two Occupational Therapists who have worked extensively with children in preschool, home and school settings. As occupational therapists; caregivers and teachers frequently come to us when a child is not meeting developmental expectations. It may be a child already identified to be facing unexpected challenges, or they may have difficulty in just one particular area. We use developmentally appropriate, evidence based strategies for all kids - not just those with identified delays.

Come & learn about the physical skills your child will need and how you can facilitate the development of these skills for ALL ability levels. Help them get ready to meet the challenges of an exciting year ahead in kindergarten.
