Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten Hero Banner

Kindergarten is an exciting and important first step in your child's educational journey! Kindergarten lays the foundation for lifelong learning by building skills in reading, math, social-emotional development, and more.

What Is Kindergarten?

Kindergarten is a full-day program for children who are 5 years old by August 15 of the current school year. It is designed to help students develop essential academic and social skills through hands-on learning, structured play, and daily routines. Tennessee law requires children to attend kindergarten before entering first grade.

What to Expect:
  • Safe and Supportive Classrooms: Caring teachers guide children through engaging lessons and activities tailored to their developmental needs.
  • Focus on Early Literacy and Math: Students begin learning letters, sounds, numbers, shapes, and early problem-solving skills.
  • Social-Emotional Growth: Children learn how to work with others, manage emotions, follow directions, and build confidence.
  • Creative Exploration: Art, music, movement, and play are all part of the daily schedule to encourage creativity and curiosity.
Getting Ready:

Before school starts, make sure your child:

  • Complete the skyward registration for kindergarteners
  • Has had a health check-up and vision screening
  • Is practicing routines like dressing independently and using the bathroom on their own

We are excited to welcome your family to kindergarten and support your child every step of the way!
