Starting school can be a tough transition for little ones — and their parents. Enter: Countdown to Kindergarten, hosted by South Carolina First Steps and happening Friday, August 4, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at EdVenuture.

Expect fun activities, tips, and resources to help get kids ready for kindergarten, like:

  • Engaging in music, movement, and more
  • Plus, free dental screenings thanks to the South Carolina Dental Association
