Transition to Kindergarten Summer Program

The transition to kindergarten affects not just the student but the whole family. Since 2017, WECC and Wethersfield Public Schools (WPS) have offered a grant-funded family Summer Successful Transition to Kindergarten Program. This summer, thanks to Dede Mahoney-Petraiuolo, Melissa Johnston, Jessica Coelho, and a grant from the Town Social and Youth Services Department, 50 incoming kindergarten students, 42 moms, 18 dads, 10 grandparents, and 7 younger siblings (126 total attendees) are ready for kindergarten!
