"I have two JK classes – one received the School’s Cool program and the other did not. The School’s Cool class seems to “get it” much more quickly! …my circles are calmer, the children more focused – I do feel [School’s Cool] was a real benefit!"

Running School’s Cool as Your Pre-kindergarten School Readiness Program

Running School’s Cool with children ages 3 – 5 before they enter kindergarten will help both children and parents be better prepared for the school experience.

Highly effective in increasing language, social, reasoning, and self-help skills of children entering kindergarten, School’s Cool also focuses on effectively engaging parents in their children’s education - especially vulnerable or hard to reach parents who may not have had positive school experiences themselves.
