Transitional Kindergarten 

Admissions

 

• Our Transitional Kindergarten program is the first year of a two-year Kindergarten program.

• It allows our youngest scholars (4 years old by September 1) to begin their academic career here at St. Nicholas

• Children will be better prepared to succeed in kindergarten and beyond because TK sets the foundation and gives parents an additional option to help their children enter kindergarten with the maturity and skills needed to excel.

• A year of kindergarten readiness (TK) provides a strong, early start to help children read proficiently by third grade - a critical milestone, which predicts whether a student will graduate from high school.
