Tips For Bedtime Anxiety


 
 
1. Ask your child if everything is OK or have a conversation:
Try saying, tell me what is wrong, how can I help you fall asleep
2. Create a bedtime routine to follow each night
3. Read books, stories, or get creative and make up silly stories. 
4. Say goodnight -hugs, high fives, tuck child in, kiss on cheek, etc.  Make it your own
5. Stop liquids and snacks at a certain time. 
Certain drinks and foods can create anxiety or can keep your child up late at night. 
6. Get a night light in the bedroom or put a small light on each night
7. Leave the door cracked open

KCPS Prekindergarten and Kindergarten Registration POSTPONED


KCPS prekindergarten and kindergarten registration was scheduled to begin in May. However, due to the current health crisis in Maryland, these procedures will need to be rescheduled.

KCPS is looking into alternative viable dates and methods for the registration process for 2020-2021.

If you have a child that turns 4 years old on or before September 1, 2020, please email or call your child’s home school to get on the initial prekindergarten (Pre-K) registration list. Kent County offers a FREE full day Pre-K program to all Kent County residents.

Kindergarten is also a full day program and is not optional. All children who turn 5 by September 1 must register for kindergarten. Students already enrolled in KCPS Pre-K do not need to register again.

 

Please contact your child's home school to get on the registration list. You may need to leave a message and someone will get back to you. If you are unsure of the home school, call Susan Cooksey at 410-778-7116 for support.
