Your kids may not be starting kindergarten, or even preschool, this fall … but it’s never too early to start them on the path to school success!
Be sure to check out our Family Guide for ideas on how to get your baby, toddler or preschooler ready to learn. You may be surprised to learn how your 1-year-old’s crying when someone else is upset or your 4-year-old’s hopping on one foot are just some of the milestones they reach as they prepare for kindergarten.
The Family Guide also has information about the new age cut-off laws in California and transitional kindergarten, tips on choosing a quality preschool and some truths and myths about vaccinations.
If you’ve kids getting ready for school, First 5 LA and Best Start will be all around Los Angeles County in the next few weeks, helping you get your kids ready to learn with free school supplies and resources. Visit the First 5 LA calendar (and keep looking for updates!) to find an event near you.

I really love the title of this article. I myself am excited to learn new games that are played during recess in the underserved schools we serve.
