🌟 **Exciting News for Capay Families!**
We are delighted to announce the launch of our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program at Capay Joint Union Elementary School, starting in the 2024-2025 school year. This program represents a significant step in our commitment to early childhood education and provides a unique opportunity for our youngest learners to thrive.
**What is Transitional Kindergarten?**
Transitional Kindergarten is the first year of a two-year kindergarten experience, tailored with a developmentally and age-appropriate curriculum that is neither a replication of preschool nor kindergarten. It uniquely blends the rigor of academic standards with the nurturing environment of preschool to focus on language, literacy, pre-math skills, and particularly on social and emotional development. This program is based on research that shows the importance of early readiness for academic success in the later years.
**Eligibility for Transitional Kindergarten:**
- Children who turn 5 between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025, are eligible to enroll.
- Please note, no exceptions can be made for children turning 5 after June 2, 2025.
- Children within this age range must enroll in TK unless they meet the age requirement for kindergarten (turning 5 on or before September 1, 2024).
**Program Highlights:**
- Operates 5 days a week with the same daily hours as kindergarten.
- Taught by credentialed teachers focusing on hands-on, experiential learning.
- Integrates fine motor, academic, and social-emotional skills to prepare for the demands of kindergarten.
**Key Differences from Kindergarten:**
- TK serves as a bridge from preschool, utilizing California Preschool Learning Foundations to prepare students for the academic challenges of kindergarten.
**Registration Details:**
- TK and Kindergarten registration for the 2024-25 school year is now open and will continue until classes are full.
- For registration details, please contact the Capay Joint Union Elementary School District office.
**Vaccination Requirements:**
- All TK students must meet California’s kindergarten immunization requirements before the first day of school.
