Transitional Kindergarten – Age 4 yr 9 months – 5 yrs (must be 5 years by the end of December to qualify) or placement based on assessment and parent/preschool input.

Seedlings is an exciting transitional kindergarten option for younger children or those who would benefit from a two-year program. It employs age-appropriate curricula introducing the kindergarten standards. Students will develop pre-literacy and pre-math skills with a strong emphasis on social engagement and learning through exploration. This year serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten and helps to ensure that our young learners are equipped with the foundational skills and experiences necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond. At the end of Seedlings, students will be evaluated for placement in Sprouts, or in some cases, first grade.

Second-Year Kindergarten – Students must be 5 by September 1.

In the Sprouts Kindergarten program, children flourish academically and socially in a developmentally appropriate environment. Students feel confident, safe, and loved while being challenged to new heights. In this traditional kindergarten classroom format, students build upon their previous experience whether it be from our Seedlings class or preschool. Upon successful completion of Sprouts, students will advance to first grade.
