Transitional Kindergarten is a full day early learning program for children who will be 4 years old prior to Sept. 1 of the year they would enter the program. The program focuses on developmentally appropriate skills and social and emotional development. Students must meet eligibility requirements, and space is limited.

Research shows that students who have access to education prior to beginning kindergarten display higher literacy skills, math abilities and skills such as remembering rules and impulse control.

Space will be limited
Due to reductions in state funding, we will not be able to offer as many Transitional Kindergarten classes in past years, so space is limited. If we receive additional state funding over the summer, we may be able to expand the number of classes.

The deadline to apply for Transitional Kindergarten has passed.

• May 29, 2026: Families will be notified of whether their child has been accepted into the Transitional Kindergarten program.

• June 12, 2026: Deadline to register students accepted into Transitional Kindergarten for 2026-27 school year.
