Attention Parents of Rising Kindergarteners:

The Waterford Upstart program is available at no cost to families of rising Kindergarteners (age 4-5) this summer. Here are a few tidbits about the program

Who: 

• The program is open to any rising Kindergartener in Virginia. 

• The program is especially interested in targeting families who:  

  • have low incomes; 

  • are minority; 

  • speak a language other than English; 

  • have children with disabilities, and; 

  • have children who will attend the targeted school divisions (identified by VDOE as high-needs).  

• What: 

  • The program is designed to support children and their families with school readiness skills through the summer. 

  • The program provides a computer and access to internet for families who need it (families who complete the summer program keep the computer). 

  • The program includes a 20-minute online lesson (academic + social/emotional supports), 5 days a week, 13 weeks over the summer, plus coaching supports for parents, all done at home and online.

• The deadline for families to express interest is June 6.
