Transition Kindergarten
GCNS has a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) class designed for children who would benefit from an extra year of growth before kindergarten. Our TK class provides a nurturing environment to support early learning and develop kindergarten readiness.
Our TK class is also appropriate for students who have completed UPK and need an extra year or for those older UPK students who would benefit from a small class and more individualized learning.
Visit our TK page to learn more info or email office@gcns.org to schedule a visit.
