TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
Transitional Kindergarten Information
Transitional Kindergarten, also known as TK, is a free program being offered in L'Anse Creuse. TK is the first of a two-year kindergarten sequence. Students attend TK followed by Kindergarten the next school year. Your student must be approved for this program.
TK was created for children who would benefit from an additional year of growth and development before attending kindergarten. This program will allow our youngest learners the time they need to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in order to be fully prepared for kindergarten.
