Alice Birney Public Waldorf K-8 School - Early Kinder Program

Early Kinder (also called Transitional Kindergarten) is the first year of a two-year kindergarten experience for children who turn age five on September 2nd through and including December 2nd.

The Early Kinder classes are taught by a credentialed teacher with a developmentally appropriate curriculum, which promotes a strong foundation and prerequisite skills needed for student success in kindergarten. Early Kinder is an optional program that gives children an additional year of preparation so they enter kindergarten with stronger academic, social, and emotional skills needed for future success in school.
