Transitional Kindergarten for Fall 2024
Hours Monday-Friday 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM
This program is designed for the young 5 year old or an older 4 (turning 5 on, or prior to 11/30/24) who would benefit from being immersed in kindergarten curriculum prior to attending a more formal educational setting. We offer a small class size of 14/15 students so that we can meet the needs of each individual child. We believe that children learn through their play and as they explore, question, listen, build, paint and sing they develop a love of learning and readiness for elementary school and other life experiences. Carefully planned lessons guide the children through a variety of thinking processes so that they gain confidence in their abilities and talents. Planned within the framework of our philosophy and purpose, our curriculum includes…
