Transitional Kindergarten

---

When the "preschooler" moves to the "kindergartener", their longing for exploration and self-guided investigation does not just disappear into thin air. Ideally, their drive to make meaning will continue to grow and the child will incorporate their ever growing abilities and skills, gaining deeper understanding of the world around them. Some of the intricate theories they have been crafting throughout the years might get disproven along the way, replaced by new ideas, or refined by new discoveries. Children need space and time for these experiences to occur, an abundance of sources for new questions, and a rich pool of tools to craft own answers. The culminating year helps the child pack their mental backpack for an amazing journey throughout their school experience.
