Preparing children for a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten is the topic of the free seminar, "What to Expect in Kindergarten," 7 - 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 22, at Oakton Community College's Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie.

Sponsored by the Oakton Community College Early Childhood Education Center and the Family Involvement Group, "What to Expect in Kindergarten" features a panel of teachers from local schools, as well as parents who currently have children enrolled in kindergarten. The seminar is designed to provide parents with an overview of what is offered by kindergarten programs.
