Kindergarten Countdown Camp (KCC) is a free summer learning program for incoming kindergarten students who have little to no preschool experience.
Children who attend preschool are more likely to enter kindergarten socially and emotionally ready to succeed in school.
Taught by licensed teachers, Kindergarten Countdown Camp prepares students for a successful start in kindergarten. Students adjust to the classroom setting, practice following directions and rules and are able to practice key kindergarten skills such as recognizing shapes, letters, counting and writing their names.
