• What is Transitional Kindergarten?

    Posted by:

    The TK program is considered the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that focuses on preparing students for kindergarten. The program is a full-day program, with no cost to parents.  

    Our Transitional Kindergarten Program will provide the youngest kindergarteners with a readiness year that is developmentally appropriate and will better prepare them for success once they enter traditional kindergarten.
