At-Home Learning Kit Resources

At Atlas, we celebrate the wonder and magic of learning. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our team has created and distributed over 2,000 at-home learning kits to families with children ages 3-6 living in the City of St. Louis. Our at-home learning kits are a great way for your family to engage with our team and see for yourself what makes Atlas so special.
 
 

Atlas Public Schools wants to make sure local families are prepared for the transition to Kindergarten. That’s why we’re offering free Kindergarten Readiness kits to St. Louis City families with preschool-aged children (3-5 year olds who are not yet in Kindergarten). These kits include hands-on activities and supplies to help kids develop key literacy, math, social-emotional, and motor skills. Sign up for your kit today!
