About Us

Simply put, Transitional Kindergarten is the bridge between  preschool and kindergarten. It is not just another year of preschool but  it is also not as academically intense as current kindergarten  practices. In out TK program, we will focus on the whole child by  implementing a modified kindergarten curriculum through developmentally  appropriate lessons that cover all content areas. The end of year goal  is to have out students enter kindergarten armed with a strong  foundation in all areas of development (cognitive, social, emotional,  language, motor, etc). The academic elements will be covered through a  cross content approach. For example, a study of a particular poem could  incorporate word study, phonics,oral language, science, math, and  writing. These lessons will be covered n a very hands-on and playful  way. Children have many years of intense academics ahead of them so it  is a priority to make their year in TK a war and fun experience.  In  addition to the academic aspects, the children will work on their  critical social and emotional development. They will learn to recognize  an manage their emotions and gain tools to deal with conflict. A huge  benefit of attending TK at Peace Preschool is our class size. At a  maximum capacity of 10 students, the teacher will be able to give much  needed individualized attention to each child and lessons will be  differentiated to address the range of student abilities. This is the  last opportunity for your child to be one of a few instead of one of  many. Transitional Kindergarten graduates of Peace Preschool will have  an amazingly fun and fantastic year and be more than ready to move on to  a very successful kindergarten year and feel confident and prepared for  seamless transition.
