All Day Transitional Kindergarten
The goal of our TK program is to provide a fun, positive, small-group setting that encourages a love of learning, provides a sense of community and prepares your child for Kindergarten.
Children must be age 4 by September 1st to apply for All Day Transitional Kindergarten.
Staff
Our Transitional Kindergarten is taught by a full-time teacher and a full-time instructional aide.


Instructional Aide

Each day, students rotate through active learning centers, which focus on important instructional elements that are aligned with Common Core Curriculum Standards.
Writing
Tracing letters, shapes and numbers help to develop fine motor skills and develop pencil grip.
Math
Through many fun activities, students become adept at counting objects and number recognition.
Letters
Students learn to identify upper and lower case letters, sort letters and match lower and upper case letters.
Literacy
Students learn to blend letter sounds to form words.
Our all-day program allows for not only academic instruction, but the equally important free play, which promotes motor coordination, sharing and socialization.
The Gospel drives all we do and say. Respect and kindness are expected. Kind words, kind actions and kind thoughts make St. James TK a great place to be!
Because our TK is all-day, there is time for many weekly enrichment activities with the school’s adjunct teachers:
- Music
- Physical Education
- Computers
- Library
