Transitional Kindergarten (t-K)

Little Gators is so excited to announce that we will be launching our Transitional Kindergarten program. We have had a lot of requests for a T-K program over the last few years and we have been having children stay for their second year of Pre-K but not we will be defining this program and launching an official T-K program. This is for children who need to complete a second year of Pre-K before entering Kindergarten. Children who turn 5 years old during the summer before or fall of the final year of Pre-K are eligible to enroll. The T-K class meets Monday through Friday from 12-3 as a part of the Pre-K class and then divided into their own T-K group. This is offered to current Little Gators as well as those who would like to experience one year at Gators before Kindergarten.
