Local preschool and kindergarten programs host annual Kindergarten Night
THE PASO A PASO Early Childhood Network, in collaboration with Taos Municipal Schools-PreK, Anansi Day School, Inspire, Little Bug, Taos Development Center, Taos Pueblo Head Start, UNM Kids’ Campus, YDI Head Start and Taos Municipal Schools’ SRCL/CLSD Grants, present their annual Kindergarten Night on Wednesday (March 30) at 5:30 p.m. For the second year in a row, this event will be presented via Zoom.
Families with incoming kindergartners for the 2022-23 school year are invited to the virtual Kindergarten Night. Parents and students will have the opportunity to learn about all the kindergarten programs in Taos, meet the wonderful kindergarten teachers, virtually view various educational classrooms and ask questions.
The nine schools presenting for Kindergarten Night are Anansi Charter, Arroyos Del Norte Elementary, Enos Garcia Elementary, Ranchos Elementary, Roots and Wings, Taos Charter, Taos Intergraded School for the Arts, Taos International School and Taos Pueblo Day School.
“The transition from preschool to kindergarten is a big one!” said recent kindergarten transition parent Amber Thomas. “As a parent, I wanted to know that my child would enroll in a school that he would connect with. It was essential for me to participate in last year’s Kindergarten Night so that I really got a clear view of how each program would run, the expectations and teaching styles of each classroom and the teaching values each program emphasized.”
Each kindergarten program will answer the same essential questions to help families make better comparisons between programs and have a more informed understanding of each program.
Students enrolling in kindergarten for the 2022-23 school year need to have their fifth birthday on or before Sept. 1. Please check with each school directly for required COVID guidelines.
