Children going into Pre-K or Kindergarten

Kindergarten Cafe

Kindergarten Cafe

Preparing for school is about more than ABCs and 123s—it’s about building confidence, fostering friendships, and learning life skills that help children thrive in a group setting. Kindergarten Café is the perfect opportunity for children gearing up for pre-k or kindergarten to practice essential social and mealtime skills in a fun and supportive environment.

At Kindergarten Café, children gather around the table to experience a mock lunch environment where they’ll:

  • Practice sitting together and engaging in meaningful conversations, developing strong communication skills.

  • Learn to take turns, share, and navigate social dynamics with peers.

  • Build independence with cleanup routines and table responsibilities, fostering accountability and care for their environment.

Each session also includes supervised free play, giving children a chance to connect through unstructured activities that inspire creativity and collaboration.

Why is this important?


Studies show that social and emotional development during the preschool years is critical for long-term success, as children who learn cooperation and self-regulation early are better prepared for the structured environment of school. By practicing these skills in a playful setting, your child will gain the tools they need to approach mealtimes—and friendships—with confidence.

Each session also includes supervised free play, giving children a chance to connect through unstructured activities that inspire creativity and collaboration.
