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: 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.
