Readiness for Kindergarten

Specialty Tutoring offers limited daytime sessions for Pre-K children identified as needing supplemental reading and/or math help before entering Kindergarten. Children must be 5 years old, and in the current calendar year in which they will start Kindergarten. An initial evaluation is not required for 5-year-olds, but will need to be scheduled when a child turns 6 years of age.
