TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) can best be described as a step up from Pre-Kindergarten and a step down from Kindergarten. This bonus year is designed specifically for students who are slightly younger, having just barely missed the kindergarten cut-off and/or for students who are slightly less mature than their same-age peers. Students in TK typically have birthdays between June and December, turning five shortly before or after the traditional school year begins.

Giving our daughter a bonus year to grow in confidence and maturity while under the watchful eye of her incredible TK teacher has been the biggest blessing not only for her but for us as well. Her love for learning has blossomed and she cannot wait to begin kindergarten next Fall!
