Transition to Kindergarten (TtK) is a full-day early learning program for children who do not have access to high-quality early learning experiences prior to kindergarten. Students are identified through a screening process. The program is designed to prepare students to be successful in kindergarten the following year. Transition to Kindergarten (TtK) will replace Early Kindergarten (EK) starting in Fall 2024. Space is limited.
Transition to Kindergarten students attend Monday - Friday for the full day.
Age: 4 years old on August 31st and will turn 5 years old on or after September 1st.
