What is TK or Transitional Kindergarten?
We now offer a transitional kindergarten for children that will be 5 or turning 5 soon after school begins and may not be entirely ready for kindergarten, either socially or academically. It gives children the opportunity to be in a full day (or half-day) program to work on their basic academic and social skills but not the pressured pace of kindergarten. If a student in the TK program progresses to the next level, they can transition into kindergarten. The purpose is to help students get a strong basic foundation before getting into the rigorous curriculum and pace of kindergarten but not be in a position to be “held back” (or fail) and continue to move forward in their education, building on success.
