Family Focus: Help your child
Being ready for kindergarten doesn’t mean having the right supplies and clothes. Kindergarten readiness means your child has the academic and social skills for school success.
Whether your child or grandchild will start kindergarten this fall or a year from now, it’s time to focus on helping them get ready.
It’s a big job, but we’re here to help
Your family set the foundation for your child’s early learning through talking, stories and play in their first days at home.
Coupled with the foundation for learning your family set, children in high-quality early care settings have been preparing for school all their lives.
But now they need more. Your child needs your extra focus in the important months before starting school. We’re here to help.

Your early education partners
Better Beginnings star-rated early educators partner with families to help you identify and strengthen areas where your child may need more support before starting school.
Kindergarten readiness tools
Online tools include the readiness indicator, reading suggestions
and the Getting Ready for Kindergarten Calendar – a yearlong, week-by-week guide to fun activities that can help improve your child’s academic skills. Suggested reading helps your child learn to deal with change and develop problem-solving and social skills.
Most importantly, your child learns with you, on your schedule, through play and interesting activities.
The calendar runs from August through July, but families can begin the activities and reading right away to help your child start school with confidence.

Know the Signs. Some signs of struggling:
Trouble concentrating, irritability, head or belly aches
Changes in bathroom habits, bed wetting, bad dreams or tantrums
Avoiding friends or school, or a decline in school performance Connect. Play a game or ask about a recent experience - help to cope before it becomes too much
Move as a Family. Regular physical activity improves mood and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression Many types of exercise can reduce stress - make time to play together!

Nutrition For School-Aged Kids
At Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center, we explore how diet and lifestyle can influence childhood nutrition, development and health.
Childhood is a great time to learn healthy eating habits. It’s an important time to stay nourished for proper growth and development - and a chance to begin making independent food choices
Here are 4 Tips to Get You Started!
Get Moving aim for 60 minutes of physical activity every day - play a sport, ride bikes or jump rope - there are many ways to move!
Try a Variety of Fruits and Vegetables
“Eat the Rainbow,” to get lots of colors and types of fruits and veggies Fresh, Frozen, or even canned in light syrup - all are great choices to keep offering to kids
Be a Role Model: Turn off the TV to connect at mealtime. Include kids in choosing foods while shopping and in creating meals to be shared Peeling, measuring, they can help!
Watch out for too much sugar! Not just candy, soda and dessert, but places like sweetened flavored yogurt. Ever tried sliced fruit mixed into plain yogurt? www.dietaryguidelines.gov
