What Will My Child Learn is Transitional Kindergarten?

What Students Learn in TK

The curriculum in East Peoria District 86's Early Childhood program aligns with the Illinois Early Learning Standards. TK provides a modified Kindergarten curriculum that is both structured and play-based, allowing young children to learn at their own developmental pace.

• Language & Literacy: Building vocabulary, listening skills, and recognizing letters.

• Mathematics: Exploring numbers, shapes, and early problem-solving.

• Social Studies & Science: Engaging in hands-on activities that explore the world around them.

• Social-Emotional Development: Explicit instruction in how to be a good student and classmate.

Transitional Kindergarten is housed at Shute School, but serves the entire East Peoria District 86. Transportation is provided for all students who attend!
