Calendar

The EIPS Early Learning team has planned a number of sessions for current pre-kindergarten families registered in the Play and Learn at School (PALS) program. Sessions are designed to help children and families continue building on the skills they’re learning in PALS classrooms and prepare for the transition to kindergarten.

We invite you to join us for any or all of these upcoming sessions that fit your schedule. Many sessions have both a daytime and evening option. Some sessions are designed for parents/caregivers while other are meant for PALS students to join in as well. Sessions will take place virtually, and the links to join will be sent directly to all registered families.

Fine-Motor Development
Many fine-motor tasks develop in a predictable sequence. We’ll go over the stages of fine-motor development in young children and give ideas for activities and play at home to help children feel more confident moving into kindergarten. We’ll discuss when children are ready to learn to print and activities that will work on pre-printing if they aren’t quite ready yet.

Speech-Sound Development
By the time children reach the age of seven, they’re usually making all of the speech sounds of their first language. As children's speech develops, the number and type of errors they make changes. Many parents have questions about whether their child's speech-sound errors are typical or whether they should be concerned. This interactive session, hosted by two EIPS speech-language pathologists, will provide information about the progression of speech-sound development and strategies parents can use to support this development.
