Transitional Kindergarten (TK) at VCES
We are excited to announce that Valley Charter School is accepting applications for our first Transitional Kindergarten (TK)
class for the 2023-24 school year.Important information for prospective TK families:
- TK will be taught by credentialed teachers.
- TK will have the same hours as Kindergarten through 5th grade on the VCES campus. These hours are Monday-Wednesday 8:05am-2:40pm, and Thursdays from 8:05am-1pm.
- TK students will be eligible for after school care provided by E3.
- TK serves as a bridge connecting what students learned in preschool to what they will master in Kindergarten.
- The focal point of a TK year is social-emotional development.
- TK students learn to develop and maintain positive relationships, identify emotions, manage impulses, focus attention, learn to work both independently and cooperatively, learn school routines and expectations, and resolve social conflict.
- TK teachers promote meaningful connections across subject matter and involve students in integrated educational experiences.
