Transitional Kindergarten

St. John Vianney’s Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a Catholic, standards-based, Pre-Kindergarten program with instruction by a certified teacher. Cooperation, respect, and collaboration are central to our shared learning experience. Each day begins and ends with community prayer and joy-filled Christian songs. Our TK class will be fully involved in the school faith community with TK students attending Mass & prayer services and participating in school-wide service projects. It’s an exciting year for the littlest ones at St. John Vianney Catholic School!

Transitional Kindergarten curriculum activities are planned to meet the needs of four year olds and young five year olds. In addition to the academic curriculum, our TK students become increasingly comfortable with structure and routine and develop important social practices and emotional awareness, like showing kindness and respect, following directions, administering self-care and being responsible for their belongings. They also begin to grasp their valued place as an individual within a classroom setting and understand important concepts like working together, being empathetic and mindful of one another's needs, and taking pride in tidying up their shared space. Exploration centers enable discovery as well as giving students exposure to higher vocabulary.

Transitional Kindergarten learning fosters important skills through language arts, mathematics, fine motor skills, dramatic play, music, art, technology, science, and social studies – preparing students for success in Kindergarten.

The goal of St. John Vianney’s Transitional Kindergarten program is to provide a fun, positive, small group setting that encourages a love of learning, develops a sense of community, and prepares your child for Kindergarten in a faith-filled environment.
