Kindergarten Transition Program

Kindergarten Transition 2022

In tradition, as for the past 14 years, OCRC was excited to host Orcas’ annual Kindergarten Transition event in May to celebrate preschoolers making the big leap to kindergarten this fall. All preschool children, regardless of which school they will attend, were invited to join in the evening of fun.


Twenty-one families engaged in learning activity centers that focused on reading, writing, math, and both gross and fine motor skills. Activities were facilitated by preschool and kindergarten teachers, giving families an opportunity to gain an informative grasp on educational concepts to practice at home over the summer to prepare for the coming school year. Ossa, age 5, said, “My favorite part was the drawing center because I got to write my name.” Families were surrounded by familiar faces and met new friends in an opportunity to ease their up-and-coming transition.


Out of Covid precaution, deliciously crafted to-go taco plates were provided by Johanna’s Salvadorian Catering and served with big smiles by OCRC staff and board members. Children also received a backpack filled with educational activities and games to play at home to facilitate kindergarten readiness along with a gift certificate to be redeemed at Darvill’s Bookstore. This no-cost annual event was sponsored by the Early Childhood Education & Assistance Program (ECEAP), OCRC and a generous local donor.
