Children ages 3 - 6 can practice the alphabet and motor skills to prepare for kindergarten!

We will practice letter sounds and writing letters using a variety of multisensory literacy activities. Children will also practice the important fine motor skills and gross motor skills needed to start school. We will work on numbers and counting, scissors, sorting, patterns, and more!
