Set Your Child Up for Success This Fall

Kindergarten is the beginning of your child’s educational journey. With the caring support of our BCPS teachers, educators and learning specialists, your child will learn key social, literacy and motor skills and develop a love of learning to carry them forward.
We know that each child’s experience is unique, especially this year as many children who might have otherwise been in Pre-K or kindergarten were unable to attend. We are here to help you make the best choices for your child’s educational journey.
