Transitional Kindergarten:
Give Your Child the Gift of an Extra Year
Do you want your child to be a leader and excited about learning?
Our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program is designed for the child whose birth date meets Kindergarten entrance requirements, but who would benefit from an extra year to mature and grow. Our gently structured academic curriculum will help your child develop confidence and set the foundation for a successful school experience. Children will be prepared for kindergarten or first grade, public or private, depending on each child’s individual readiness. Reading, writing, math, science and social studies are the primary focus, while art, music, Judaic studies, gymnastics, and physical education complement our TK program which is carefully planned to meet all aspects of your child’s academic, social and emotional growth.
