Transitional Kindergarten Program

The Transitional Kindergarten is for children one year away from Kindergarten. Transitional Kindergarten will introduce and mimic the routines children can expect in a kindergarten class.  Here our learning goals are achieved through a variety of rich child-and-teacher directed experiences, in both large and small groups, designed to expose children to school-age learning situations and expectations in a developmentally appropriate manner. Independent learning centers are crafted by teachers and focus on language and literacy, math and science, and art.  As in all of our preschool classrooms, children will practice and develop important school-age skills including listening, direction following, waiting, and sharing within a school setting.
