Five Counties Children’s Centre has organized Ready for School events to help children from kindergarten to Grade 3 more easily transition to school, especially if they face greater challenges due to physical, developmental or communication needs.

These events take place at Five Counties, 872 Dutton Rd., Saturday, May 30, from 10 a.m. until noon., as well as in Cobourg June 6 and Lindsay June 13.

“Ready for School can help families ease the worry and concern about their child starting or returning to school,” said Hayley Hodges, the client and family engagement lead at Five Counties. “The event can inform parents about how to best take advantage of Five Counties services as children transition to school. It also helps to bridge the knowledge gap about school supports and resources available to make the transition easier for everyone.”

For parents and caregivers, attending a Ready for School event can help them learn more about what their child can expect at school, classroom supports available to them, how Five Counties services transition to support........
