Kindergarten Countdown’s main event! See the Louisville Bats play, meet representatives from local schools and community organizations, and get lots of free goodies for your kindergartener.

-- Kindergarten Countdown is a partnership between Metro United Way, Louisville Metro, LFPL, JCPS, and PNC Bank with support from cultural and educational institutions throughout the county. The goal of Kindergarten Countdown is to support children’s transitions into kindergarten.

Kindergarten Countdown begins June 1, for all children entering kindergarten this fall. Simply visit any Louisville Free Public Library and pick up a free “I’m going to Kindergarten” t-shirt. The t-shirt will get the child and one parent into Kindergarten Countdown events around the city all summer long - free! The Countdown culminates August 7 at Slugger Field with a Kindergarten Countdown Fair and Louisville Bats game.
