If you have a child starting kindergarten this August in Champaign or Urbana schools, a free camp can prepare them for their first school experience.
Unit 4’s Kindergarten Readiness Camps will focus on getting kindergarteners ready in advance of the school year, with the sessions running for three hours a day (9 a.m.-noon) on weekdays. They’ll take place at Westview Elementary and Dr. Howard Elementary, though all Unit 4 kindergarten enrollees at eligible.
Included in each camp is a Family Night, comprised of a family dinner and activities. Childcare is provided for siblings.
Registration is required and can be accomplished by calling the Center for Family and Community Engagement at (217) 351-3701 or emailing grayam@u4sd.org.
