Play K & Kindergarten Transition
Making the transition into kindergarten a smooth one for children and families is one of the main goals of Cruise Libraries! Our new Play K curriculum is currently being used in libraries across the state to provide early learning experiences for children and families. You can now access the curriculum online (see below). An online course centered around the curriculum is now one of the modules available under the Professional Development Tab. It is designed as a refresher for those who attended the workshop or for training new staff.
