Radford City Schools announced Wednesday a new partnership program with United Way and Carilion Clinic that will help preschool-aged children prepare for kindergarten.

The Kinder Camp program is designed to help students get a leg up before their first day at McHarg Elementary School. The three-week program, to begin this summer, will help build literacy, social and emotional skills, Superintendent Rob Graham said.

“We do have some kindergarteners who don’t have a preschool experience and they come into kindergarten not knowing what that’s like,” Graham said. “To have this opportunity, they’ll be ready. Hopefully they won’t have any fear, any anxiety or stress and they’ll be ready to learn.”
