When you think about preparing your child for kindergarten, it is important to be aware of ALL areas of your child’s development – physical, emotional, language, and thinking. Adults provide the best support for their child when they encourage their individual abilities and readiness to learn. Learning happens all the time, not only in a classroom. Use your surroundings to encourage mathematical thinking and make it lots of fun for preschoolers. You can support the development of math skills by being enthusiastic about math.
