Transitional Kindergarten for 5-Year-Olds

MPSD also will be offering a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program in 2025-2026 for children who will be 5 on or before September 1st, 2025. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is the gift of time for students that are not developmentally ready for Kindergarten… yet.

In Transitional Kindergarten students will learn essential literacy, math, and self regulation skills in a play-based environment. At the end of the Transitional Kindergarten year, students will be recommended for either Kindergarten or Grade One based on their readiness.
