About Ready, Set, Kindergarten
Ready, Set, Kindergarten helps young learners feel familiar and confident with the rhythms of a classroom before they get there. Through playful, hands-on activities, students build the early academic and social foundations that support a strong start.
The child-development-informed curriculum provides repeated opportunities to practice transitions, organization, attention, self-advocacy, cooperative learning, and classroom independence, all in a supportive small group.
Educational focus: School readiness, early literacy, early mathematics, pre-writing, fine-motor learning, classroom routines, executive functioning, independence, communication, self-awareness, cooperative play, and social-emotional learning.

Educational Enrichment Program Notice
Tumble ’N Dots Educational Enrichment Programs are supplemental group learning programs, separate from our clinical occupational therapy services. They do not include diagnosis, determination of medical necessity, individualized occupational therapy evaluation or plans of care, clinical treatment goals, healthcare progress notes, insurance billing, or superbills.
Within group instruction, instructors may use visual supports, modeling, activity modifications, and other strategies to improve access to the curriculum. These are educational supports within the group program, not individualized occupational therapy treatment. If a student may benefit from clinical occupational therapy, those services are offered separately and require a separate clinical intake.
