The Giraffes (Transitional Kindergarten NEW THIS YEAR!!!)

This class is a Transitional Kindergarten class for children who are need one more year of pre-school social readiness skills but are ready for a kindergarten curriculum.  This class follows the state standards for Kindergarten in California.  Children may be 4½ -5 ½ in September to start this class.  Because this is a new class, we anticipate that the class will start small and grow to full capacity by October.  The Lead Teacher  has her masters in Special education.  This class operates 8:30-2:30 Monday-Friday.
