The Arkansas Kindergarten Readiness Calendar has been a wonderful trusted resource for providers and families throughout our state. This fun interactive calendar has recently been updated by a project coordinated by our friends at the University of Arkansas Early Care and Education Projects. This project is approved and funded by Arkansas Department of Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, Office of Early Childhood, and University of Arkansas College of Education and Health Professions, Early Care and Education Projects. So, this resource is not only FUN and FREE, it has the stamp of approval by experts in our state!
