X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Help get your preschooler ready for kinder
 garten by building essential skills across five early learning domains. Ki
 ndergarten readiness is about what kids should know and be able to do when
  they start&nbsp\;kindergarten. It refers to a child&rsquo\;s readiness to
  make a smooth and successful transition and&nbsp\;integration into the ki
 ndergarten environment. This includes skills like letter recognition\, ide
 ntifying colors\, counting\, and even gross motor skills.</p>\n<p>Through 
 a short circle time and self-led\, play-based activity stations\, children
  will work toward increasing these skills. Caregivers will encourage their
  children as they play. If desired\, they will have the opportunity to lea
 rn more about the skills their child is building.</p>\n<p>This program is 
 recommended for children aged 3 to 5.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Library Program Atten
 dance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within t
 he suggested age range of the program. Children attending an MCPL program 
 under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults attending a pro
 gram intended for children must have an accompanying child.</p>\n<p>If you
  plan to attend with a group of ten or more\, please contact the branch at
  least one week before the program to discuss how your group might be acco
 mmodated.</p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to do until this program?<
