Kindergarten Kickoff lets families engage with educators, build confidence, and foster a love for learning in children. Parents and caregivers gain valuable insights to ensure a smooth transition for their children into kindergarten

It’s normal for kids to be a little nervous about starting school for the first time. So, Louisiana Children’s Museum invented Kindergarten Kickoff.

Kindergarten Kickoff lets families engage with educators, build confidence, and foster a love for learning in children. Parents and caregivers gain valuable insights to ensure a smooth transition for their children into kindergarten.

Throughout the Museum, kindergarten teachers interact with parents and provide valuable insights, including a presentation by a Spanish-speaking kindergarten teacher.

The 3rd Annual Kindergarten Kickoff will be held at the Louisiana Children’s Museum, where kids will experience:

  • Cutting with scissors
  • Packing folders into backpacks
  • Balancing lunch trays
  • Writing their names
  • School Bus Orientation
  • Speech and Hearing Screenings
  • Storytime
  • Healthy Eating Activities
  • Exercises

With support from the community, the Louisiana Children’s Museum can continue to offer the Kindergarten Kickoff to families at no cost and provide our community the opportunity to celebrate the excitement of starting kindergarten.
