The Transitional Kindergarten Classroom

Through joyful and authentic literacy experiences, your child uses their imagination and strengthens their reading comprehension skills. In Writer’s Workshop, they build their identity as a writer, learning that reading and writing are ways to share their ideas with others and express creativity.

Teachers engage your child in the design thinking process, which encourages them to ask questions, guides them through project-based learning experiences and invites them to think critically to solve real-world problems.

Teachers introduce counting, number recognition, measuring, geometry and patterning through whole- and small-group instruction. Children also learn reasoning and problem-solving strategies that extend learning beyond traditional math concepts.

Your child learns to appreciate the importance of belongingness as they explore the unique traits and common interests of their classroom community and the communities outside their school. They also participate in Primrose Promise^SM to practice giving without expectation and make a meaningful difference in their communities.

Our age-appropriate playgrounds give your child the space each day to strengthen gross motor muscles by jumping, climbing, sliding and running freely and safely. Thumbs Up! lessons from the Balanced Learning curriculum also support your child in strengthening skills such as balance, coordination, throwing and kicking.

Your child’s health and safety is always the top priority. Every Primrose school maintains high standards of safety and cleanliness while creating a nurturing environment in which children can thrive.

Meals and snacks at Primrose schools provide more than tasty opportunities for healthy eating. They also help children learn about the importance of nutrition and practice independence by serving themselves and cleaning up.

Through modeling and practice, your child develops important traits like responsibility, honesty and compassion. They also celebrate their own uniqueness and appreciate what makes others special as they build strong friendships.

Our unique Harmony & Heart® program uses original stories and music to help children become more dynamic thinkers, better listeners and kinder people as they grow in areas like language, math and character development.

Setting goals, celebrating both their efforts and persistence, and reflecting on their growth will help your child feel proud and allow their confidence to shine.

Your young artist learns about and engages in many forms of art, including drama and music. They also explore and practice techniques of master artists, contemporary artists and children’s book illustrators as they create their own art projects.
