Get Kids Ready – Free 4-Year-Old School Readiness Program
The Get Kids Ready program provides eligible 4-year-old children with a strong foundation for Kindergarten through 437 hours of free early learning instruction.
Using a play-based curriculum aligned with WMELS (Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards), children develop essential early skills in a fun and engaging environment.
Through hands-on learning experiences, children build:
- Early literacy and language skills
- Foundational math understanding
- Social and emotional development
- Independence and confidence
- School readiness and classroom routines
This program is designed to ensure every child enters Kindergarten prepared, confident, and excited to learn.
Infants (4 weeks – 12 months)
Our infant program focuses on building secure relationships, trust, and comfort through responsive care. Infants follow their own schedules while being supported through sensory experiences, language development, movement, exploration, and nurturing interactions.
Toddlers (1 – 2 years)
Toddlers are encouraged to explore, discover, and build independence through hands-on activities. We focus on language development, social skills, emotional expression, self-help skills, creativity, and learning through everyday experiences.
Preschool (3 – 5 years)
Our preschool experiences prepare children for school while allowing them to learn naturally through play and exploration. Children build early literacy, math, problem-solving skills, creativity, independence, and social-emotional skills through meaningful activities.
School Age (6 – 14 years)
Our school-age program provides a supportive space where children can relax, connect, and continue growing outside of school hours. We encourage responsibility, friendships, and leadership skills, and we provide opportunities for homework support and engaging activities.
Curriculum
Ages & Stages
Questionnaire (ASQ)
Our curriculum is rooted in learning through play, hands-on experiences, and each child’s natural curiosity. We use developmental milestones, observations, and the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) to guide activities that support each child’s individual growth. Learning experiences are designed to build confidence, independence, creativity, social-emotional skills, and school readiness while meeting children where they are.
