The Early Childhood Council of La Plata County and the Durango Public Library invite parents, caregivers, and their preschoolers to a free six-part workshop series focused on preparing young children for kindergarten. More information is at ecclaplata.org.

Each session will explore important areas of school readiness, with hands-on activities that build early literacy, math, motor, and social-emotional skills.

Preschool participants will receive a free book and fun materials to support their learning journey (one per family, while supplies last).

To get the most benefit from the series, we encourage families to attend all six sessions.
