Daily News | The Kindergarten Readiness Experience is showing local kids what school feels, looks, and sounds like
Ryan Reed Jr., 5, of West Philadelphia, , is playing with toys along with fellow kids attending the Kindergarten Readiness Program at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia, Pa., on Thursday, Aug., 2, 2023.on Aug 8, 2023, 5:00 a.m. ET
After their time to draw was up, the class facilitators went around the room and asked each child to show off their work. Kyan Ian Stone-Black, 5, held his drawing high above his head, which featured a pink neck tie he’d drawn on himself. Lila Vaught, 3 and a half years old, drew headphones over her ears because she loves listening to themovie soundtrack. And Zaeem Johnson, 5, was a little shyer, presenting his small, mostly orange portrait to the rest of the class.
There’s an emphasis on equity here, too. While the program is open to children across Philadelphia, KRE is heavily prioritizing children from the neighborhoods around the Please Touch Museum — Parkside, Mantua, and Belmont. “Some of us who don’t get that preparedness early on are at a disadvantage once we start school. And it happens disproportionately, we know, in lower socioeconomic communities,” Liles-Amponsah said.
And even though Sutton was a high school teacher for nearly a decade, she’s picked up parenting tips from the KRE, too. For example, the facilitators encouraged the caregivers in the class to check in with their children using a “rose, bud, thorn” prompt — the child answers with one good thing they’re feeling, one bad thing, and something they’re looking forward to. Sutton was familiar with the concept, but had never thought to use it with her own child.
