The Ballard Boys & Girls Club has started a new pre-kindergarten class, called Jumpstart to Kindergarten. The program is for 4 1/2- to 5-year-olds, and is intended to help them get ready for kindergarten the next year. According to an announcement from the club, “There’s an emphasis on core basics…writing the alphabet (both upper and lower case), counting and writing numbers, simple math as well as recognizing shapes, colors, and the sounds of each letter of the alphabet.”
To learn more about the class, or for a tour of the club, contact the program’s creator and teacher Toni Heppner at 206-372-8160.
