A new school year is a wonderful time to help young children build the skills they need to learn, grow, and feel confident—whether they are beginning kindergarten, attending preschool or child care, or learning at home.

Excel By 5’s August Kindergarten Readiness Calendar includes a simple family activity for every day of the month.

Save the August calendar and enjoy learning together—one simple activity at a time!
