Getting Ready to Move On

TK, Pre-K, DK, OMG-K… regardless of what we call it, it’s what we do that counts. 

As we relish the innocence of preschool, we’re also propelling our children into a whole new world. Transitioning from class to class is one of the biggest changes (and biggest challenges) children face when going to Kindergarten. So, let’s practice.

Our TK program is designed for children to experience the setting of an elementary school. While maintaining the consistency of a homeroom, your child will transition to different classrooms for each area of learning (i.e. language and literacy, creative arts and culture, math and technology, science and environment). Adapting to transitions within a familiar setting will not only ease their pending move to elementary school, it will also allow them to gain comfort in building relationships with multiple teachers. To support continuity and allow for a structured sense of learning, children explore a different country each month. This overarching theme is incorporated into each classroom, and concludes with a celebration of the native foods and cultural experiences.

Although we continue to appreciate an emergent curriculum, we also implement the value of traditional school readiness.

The Next Step
From progressive education, to traditional academics, to one of the highly-respected public schools, our kids have amazing options for elementary school. With that said, navigating the process is key. We have great respect for the many relationships we have built with the schools, and an appreciation for each of their philosophies. We are committed to offering you guidance, advocating for your family, and finding that match.
