Kindergarten is a time of great transition. Children and families may be both excited and apprehensive as students make the transition to a full day of learning. Students look forward to riding the big yellow bus for the first time while parents can't help worry as they become more independent.
Our educators are well trained in supporting both students and families as they make this transition. They will encourage you to be an active participant in your child's daily experiences and still allow them to flourish. Should you have any worries or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher and remember they have been working with this age group for quite some time. They will be able to make suggestions for dealing with separation anxiety, stamina, communication, social interactions etc. But rest assured, most students transition very well and just need a bit of time to build new routines and habits.
Kindergarten Registration information for the 2025-2026 School Year will be sent to parents the week of March 3rd. Students must turn 5 years old on or before August 31, 2025 to be eligible. If you are the parent of a kindergarten age student who does not attend the Quabbin Regional preschool program, please contact Jessica Bennett at [email protected] with your child's name, date of birth, address and parent contact information.
