Welcome to Project KIND

"Keys to Improvement Necessary for Development"

Project KINDTM is a preschool & kindergarten classroom curriculum program distributed by The Ohio State University®. Your child will be participating in 12 lessons. During this time students will learn five ‘key concepts' that will help them to be successful in school. We call these our 'Keys to Success." The keys are:

Weeks 1 & 2
Respect Key
Weeks 7 & 8
Cooperation
Weeks 3 & 4
Manners
Weeks 8 & 10
Communication
Weeks 5 & 6
Smart Choice
Weeks 11 & 12
Keys to Success

Tips for raising respectful children:

  1. Teach through your positive interactions.
  2. Provide positive and consistent language about your child’s actions and choices.
  3. Be consistant with your redirection.
  4. Acknowledge good behavior.

Before bed, at the dinner table, or in the car, find some time to ask your student to give you some examples of ways to be kind and respectful.
