Considering Kindergarten?

PAC’s Kindergarten Readiness Committee updates this web resource and the Kindergarten Readiness Folders that are given to each co-op in the fall.

This comprehensive resource saves co-op parents a great deal of time and energy by providing information about Kindergarten options in the Seattle area. By being available to all co-ops, not just the 3-5s, it’s a terrific way for parents to get a head-start on the process.

We are able to provide a selection of online resources for interested families.
