FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR, STUDENTS WHOSE FIFTH BIRTHDAY IS ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2024, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, ARE ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN.
We are accepting all age-eligible students: the student must turn 4 years old by JUNE 30th, 2024.
We are excited about enrolling students in California's new Universal Transitional Kindergarten expansion TK program! Over the next three years, we will be phasing in TK for all four-year-olds, starting with the 2022-23 school year. Students turning five by June 30, 2025, are eligible to enroll!
TK is not the first year of kindergarten but a distinct year of early learning in a developmentally appropriate, nurturing environment. Four-year-olds attend TK for a full year of learning. Expanded TK is intended to provide a high-quality early experience for all four-year-olds.
In Mt. Pleasant, we have over twenty years of experience in implementing high-quality early-learning preschool programs. We believe in teaching and nurturing each child’s strengths in a positive, developmentally appropriate environment. We believe that social skills and self-regulation are essential skills for success in school and that children learn best through play and exploration. Our focus is on learning social-emotional, self-help, pre-academic readiness, motor skills, and communication skills in an environment that celebrates fun and learning.
Children learn to take care of their personal needs, interact with others, and express themselves. All of our TK and preschool classes use California State adopted Preschool Learning Foundations, and research-based and culturally responsive instructional strategies and assessment methods.
Our teachers follow monthly thematic units as well as daily and weekly routines. Children participate in a daily routine that ensures predictability and reinforces learning and a sense of security. Each day includes circle time; calendar, music, phonics, vocabulary development, fine motor and gross motor development, play-based exploration, outside play, small group academic instruction, and shared meal time.
