TK: Transitional Kindergarten

In the TK program at CCDS, students learn to play and play to learn! Here is where the foundations of our Learner Profile are established, preparing them for kindergarten and beyond. Students learn to be an active listener, cooperate with others, be curious, build a sense of community, and learn to gain independence.

TK is available for children turning 4 years old by September 1st. It serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten, providing our youngest learners with an opportunity to learn and grown in an environment suited to their developmental needs.
