Transitional Kindergarten
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is an additional year of early childhood education designed for children who turn five between certain dates, helping them develop the skills necessary for kindergarten. It bridges the gap between preschool and kindergarten by providing a developmentally appropriate environment focused on social, emotional, and academic growth. TK emphasizes play-based learning, fostering curiosity, independence, and foundational skills like early literacy and numeracy. It supports children’s readiness for the more structured demands of kindergarten, ensuring a smoother transition and a stronger start to their elementary education.
