At Barry STEAM Academy, we want every kindergartner to have the best possible start to their school journey. Every year we host a 1-hour Kinder Camp before the school year officially begins. It’s a short, fun, and welcoming experience where your child can visit the classroom, meet our kindergarten team, explore some hands-on activities, meet new friends, and get a little taste of what school will feel like in a low-stress, supportive environment. It also gives us a chance to start learning about your child—what excites them, what helps them feel safe, and how we can best support them as they transition into kindergarten. With this experience, we’re able to make thoughtful, intentional decisions that set your child up for a strong and successful start to the year. Please call the school if you need to set up a time to attend the kinder camp!!

We know starting school is a big milestone, and Kinder Camp helps make that first day feel a lot more familiar and a little less scary—for both kids and parents. Once your child is placed, your child’s teacher will contact you.
