Kindergarten Magic at TCPS
Welcome to Kindergarten at TCPS! Each child's educational journey begins with wonder, excitement, and endless possibilities in our nurturing kindergarten program. At TCPS, we understand that kindergarten is more than academics—it's where young learners discover the joy of school, build lasting friendships, and develop the confidence to thrive. TCPS is intentionally small - “small by design”, which enables us to not only have these foundational principles as a goal, but to make them a reality every day. Read on to learn what this looks like in Kindergarten, for our youngest learners, and how following these principles makes TCPS a special place to learn.
A Foundation for Lifelong Learning
Our child-centered approach harnesses your kindergartner's natural curiosity while building essential skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. We enrich this foundation with social studies, science, Spanish, art, and music, creating well-rounded young scholars who are excited to learn. Our Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Garcia, leads the youngest TCPS Tigers as they learn how to be a student. With no more than 12 students in her class, she has the opportunity to truly get to know each student and work with them individually on a daily basis. “In Kindergarten, every day can be a new adventure, whether we’re discovering the magic of learning to read and write or using hands-on activities to learn about animals in their environments. As a teacher, my greatest joy is watching each child grow in confidence, creativity, and curiosity, making each year I teach truly unforgettable as I build relationships with each of my students.”
Community Connection from Day One
At TCPS, we believe in the power of building community. Your kindergartner will experience meaningful connections through partnerships with first-grade "experienced students" and reading sessions with caring fourth-grade mentors. These relationships create a supportive big sister/brother atmosphere that helps children feel valued and secure as they navigate their new school environment.
Safe, Nurturing, and Confidence-Building
Our kindergarten program provides a balance of exploration and structure, allowing children to master school routines while developing independence and social skills. Every day, your child will grow not just as a student, but as a friend, community member, and confident young person ready to make positive contributions to the world.
