Hello everyone. My little brother is going to be going to pre-k before too long and I want to make sure he is prepared. We have the whole summer coming up so I was wondering if anyone knew about anything good to do before he starts pre-k.

He loves to color and draw and he loves being read stories. He hasn’t really spent much time around other kids alot tho. How do I make sure he’s ready for a classroom? Thanks.

Potty training, make sure he can pull his pants up and down by himself, as well as any coat / jacket. Practice using polite words. Play games that require taking turns. Practice putting on and taking off shoes by himself. Have him pick a calm down method (blowing out birthday candles, etc) and know when to use it.

The Montessori Jacket Flip is really useful. Our kiddo learned it in preschool, but a head start never hurts.
