On My Way to K with PBS KIDS uses a whole-child approach to support caregivers' understanding of the fundamental skills needed to be ready for kindergarten. 

In this guide, you’ll find caregiver-friendly explanations of standards, tips, activities, and resources to support your child in becoming a life-long learner right from the start!

This summer, WUCF PBS is bringing back its popular “On My Way to K” series of free, hands-on events designed to help Central Florida’s youngest learners get excited and ready for school.

Held throughout July at local libraries, each event is open to children ages 2–8 and their caregivers. Families will explore interactive stations that support every aspect of early childhood development—from creativity and movement to social-emotional growth and problem-solving. Activities are adaptable for children of all abilities, and every location includes a sensory-friendly space for little learners.
