Holistic Growth Through Hands-On Learning

Our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program brings social, emotional, and academic learning together through exploration and experimentation. Students work collaboratively and individually from an integrated hands-on, project-based curriculum that promotes learning for understanding and mastery.

Our goal is that our TK students gain self-confidence, become enthusiastic and skillful learners, and feel connected to their teachers, classmates, and Lower Elementary community. We believe in the potential and gifts of each child beyond competency in the basic grade-level standards. We know our children are capable of so much when they are inspired to become independent and joyful learners, collaborators, innovators, and creative and empathetic leaders in pursuit of knowledge for a better world.

We cannot wait to celebrate your child's uniqueness, see their potential come alive, and partner with you in their education. We are honored that you are considering The Spring Hill School as your child's school.

Why TK? A Vital Step in Education

Cognitive Development: A well-designed TK program stimulates critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making, laying a strong foundation for later academic achievement with early literacy and numeracy exposure.
Social and Emotional Skills: TK programs help children develop cooperation, emotion management, and adaptation skills, guided by qualified teachers essential for personal and relational success.
Language Development: TK enhances vocabulary and communication skills through guided interactions, aiding effective expression and improving listening skills for academic success.
Physical Development: TK programs develop fine and gross motor skills through physical activities, with credentialed PE teachers leading sessions 3 to 4 times a week.
