  1. As a member of the O’Farrill Learning Family, I am very proud to said that one component of our curriculum is to promote social skills that will help our children transition to kindergarten successfully. “Kindergarten teachers will tell you that the students who are ready to learn are those who come into school with good social and behavior-management skills.”
