Starting kindergarten is a big milestone—for children and parents! To make the transition smooth, the Allen Early Childhood PTA, in partnership with Allen ISD, invites you to join us for a special evening of learning and resources:
​
-
Kindergarten Readiness Day: A one-day, free lesson to guide parents and children through kindergarten preparation.
-
Early Learning & Enrichment Fair: A family-friendly fair highlighting local programs, after-school care, private and transitional Kindergarten and enrichment opportunities.
​

At this one night event, you will:
