Transitional Kindergarten
In Evergreen School District we offer full day transitional kindergarten (TK) education in our district to help provide a foundation for our youngest learners.
Transitional kindergarten is the first year of a two-year developmental kindergarten program for "young" five year olds. This school grade serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten, to provide students with time to develop fundamental skills needed for success in school in a setting that is appropriate to the student's age and development. Our teachers create a warm and nurturing learning environment that allows students to flourish. Our program cultivates their natural curiosity and wonder by encouraging inquiry and by teaching lessons through hands-on learning. At the same time, we balance academic learning with socialization and lots of fun to inspire a love of learning at a young age.
