As an agency supporting children and families with Kindergarten readiness for over 25 years, we know the transition into TK or Kindergarten is a big step for kids—and caregivers, too.

Your experiences can help other families feel more confident and prepared. Please consider taking our short, 3-question survey to share your feedback. You’ll be entered into a drawing to receive up to 4 tickets to your choice of the MOXI, Children’s Resource and Referral Discovery Museum (formerly the SMV Discovery Museum), or the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Note: This survey is voluntary and optional. First 5 Santa Barbara County, this survey, and this raffle are not affiliated with the MOXI, CR&R Discovery Museum, or Santa Barbara Zoo. First 5 Santa Barbara County will never share your personal information. For questions, please contact us at first5@countyofsb.org.
