📚 Get Ready for Kindergarten with LA Public Library

Preparing for kindergarten doesn’t have to wait until the first day of school—and thanks to the Los Angeles Public Library, families have a fun, free way to start early.

The Get Ready for Kindergarten program is designed for families with children ages 0–5 who aren’t yet in school. Whether you attend in person or join virtually, each session is full of playful learning moments that build real skills—like listening, counting, storytelling, and fine motor practice.

You’ll also get practical tips as a parent or caregiver: simple activities you can do at home to support your child’s growth and confidence.

🎉 Bonus Challenge: Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!

Families are encouraged to read together and track their progress toward a big goal—1,000 books before kindergarten. (Yes, rereading the same book counts!) Celebrate your achievement with a printable certificate from the library.

Why we love it: It’s free, family-friendly, and designed to build school readiness and strong family bonds. A win-win.
