What is "Transitional Kindergarten"?

Answer

Transitional Kindergarten is a class that helps prepare those children who need a curriculum that is more advanced than our traditional Pre-K curriculum, but not as intense as Kindergarten.

Question 2

What children are eligible for this program?

Answer

Children who meet the kindergarten cut-off of 5 years of age by August 1, but whose parents and / or current teachers do not feel are ready for an intensive all-day kindergarten program.
Children who miss the August 1 cut-off, but turn 5 before January 1, and are recommended by their teacher.
Children who have excelled in our Preschool's 3 year old program and are recommended by their teacher.
All placement is subject to administrative approval.
