Transitional Kindergarten in Kingsburg

Transitional Kindergarten at Washington Elementary School:
Getting Kids Ready for Success in School

Beginning this fall, Washington Elementary School opened a new classroom for 25 of the district’s youngest kindergarteners, providing them with an extra year of preparation before kindergarten to develop the skills that will help them succeed in elementary school and beyond. The program at Washington Elementary, called Transition Kindergarten, is part of a pilot program being offered through the Kingsburg Elementary Charter School District in Fresno County, and will allow children additional time to mature socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically in the year before kindergarten. Children in the Transition Kindergarten class will benefit from focused instruction and hands-on activities that encourage them to develop skills and concepts at their own pace. The new class will emphasize language, pre-literacy and early math instruction to build a foundation for future learning.
