Kindergarten Readiness Tips & Tools

• Atlanta Public Schools offers several summer opportunities before Kindergarten. Check our Power Up page this spring to see if your school has a KinderCamp, or whether we’ll be offering a district Summer Transition Program.
  • You can also fill out an interest form for KinderCamps for Benteen, Continental Colony, Deerwood, Dunbar, Dobbs, Fickett, Garden Hills, Hollis, Kimberly, Scott, and Usher online here. 
  • The link for our Rising K Summer Transition Program (targeting students who did not attend a full year of Pre-K) is here. The application will open on March 1st. 
  • The Rising Pre-K Summer Transition Program for Spanish-speaking students can be found here, and also opens on March 1st.

• The Mayor’s Summer Reading Club hosts a variety of opportunities throughout the summer. Make sure to check out their calendar!
• Additionally, did you know that Georgia has standards starting at birth? You can see what the standards (e.g. learning expectations) are for each age group by each domain.
• You can also download a developmental milestones app here - this one is from the CDC.
