Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten

The transitional kindergarten program bridges preschool and traditional kindergarten, offering an age-appropriate and developmentally-suited curriculum for our youngest students. TK is the first year of a two-year kindergarten journey designed to provide students with extra time to develop essential academic, social, and emotional skills for future success. Credentialed teachers lead the classes, ensuring a robust educational foundation for each student. Transitional kindergarten is an optional, free program available to age-eligible children.

Parents are urged to register online for the 2024-2025 school year as soon as possible. This will assist school personnel in making plans for the coming year.
