Celebration of Countdown to Kindergarten
Friday, August 5th, 2022
EdVenture Children’s Museum and its partners invite rising kindergartners and their families to join us as we host our annual Celebration of Countdown to Kindergarten on Friday, August 5th from 5:00 pm - 7:00 PM at all three museum locations (Columbia, Hartsville, and Myrtle Beach.) Celebration of Countdown to Kindergarten is presented in partnership with South Carolina First Steps and supported by the South Carolina Dental Association.
Celebration of Countdown to Kindergarten will provide opportunities to practice real-life kindergarten experiences, such as loading on and off and sitting on a real school bus, going through a cafeteria lunch line, and playing in a mock kindergarten classroom. Each of these experiences will be located throughout the museum, where there will also be plenty of time to explore and engage with the museum's many exhibits.
Various community partners will also be on-site to provide parents with resources and educational materials about what to expect for their child’s transition to school.
Admission to the Celebration of Countdown to Kindergarten event is free at all three museum locations. (Columbia, Hartsville, and Myrtle Beach) Advanced registration is encouraged.
