Bowen’s Transitional Kindergarten offers a unique opportunity for a third year of pre-school. TK combines an exciting mix of academics and social skills brought together by a dedicated team of teachers. These older 4′s and young 5′s work toward goals comparable to those in Kindergarten but at a modified pace in a much smaller community with a 7:1 child teacher ratio. This class of 14 quickly becomes a cohesive group working and playing together with enthusiasm. You are welcomed to visit the school to observe first hand how your child would benefit from the program. Parents of former students remark that “it was the best thing I did for my child.”
