Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program. TK provides an early childhood education program that builds a bridge between preschool years and traditional Kindergarten. TK is ideal for students who may benefit from an enriched foundational early childhood education program to prepare them for success in traditional Kindergarten.
ELIGIBILITY: Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is designed for students who turn 5 years old on or between September 2 and June 2 for the 2024-2025 school year. For the 2025-2026 school year, any child who turns 4 by September 1 of the year they are entering TK may be enrolled. Students who turn 4 on September 2, or later, will wait and attend TK the following year. No exceptions will be made with the published deadline date of September 1.
