DescriptionKickstart is a summer camp that is designed to help incoming Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten students get used to the schedule and routine of TK and K. The day is designed to look like a regular school day and is intended to help students get excited about their new classes in the fall. We skip nap time for quiet time, we get to know the faces and names of future teachers and specialists, and much, much more! Kickstart is a curriculum that was designed and written by the K teams specifically for summer camp.
