Transitional Kindergarten

 

 

Classes for older four-year-olds and five-year-olds.

Transitional kindergarten is a bridge between preschool and kindergarten. For admittance to TK please refer to the table below which identifies the birth date window for each school year.

School Year Birth Date Window
2022-2023 school year Children whose 5th birthday is between September 2 and February 2
2023-2024 school year Children whose 5th birthday is between September 2 and April 2
2024-2025 school year Children whose 5th birthday is between September 2 and June 2
2025-2026 school year And in each school year thereafter, children who turn 4 by September 1
Transitional kindergarten gives young learners an opportunity to learn and grow in an environment tailored to meet their academic and social needs. If your child attends preschool and is turning five years old between September 1 and December 2, their next step is transitional kindergarten. After a year of transitional kindergarten, your child moves on to kindergarten.
