Parents and children will spend about an hour in a classroom where they will engage in various literacy, fine motor and math activities.  Parents will then attend a brief meeting with the building principal, nurse and kindergarten teachers.  Children will remain in the classroom during the meetings to participate in art and story time as well as have a snack.
