Students who join Mulberry’s unique Junior Kindergarten program benefit from a two-year transitional experience leading to first grade. Junior Kindergarten students are exposed to Common Core skills daily without expectation of mastery. Junior Kindergarten students are integrated in the classroom with our Kindergarten students, allowing for valuable peer mentoring and modeling opportunities.
Typically, Junior Kindergarten students are older and ready to immerse themselves in a Kindergarten curriculum. They have the option to loop for a second year with our Kindergarten teacher.
Class Details:
- Eligibility:
- Students must turn 5 between September 1st and December 1st and receive approval following a screening.
- Students who are already 5 and could benefit from an extra year before Kindergarten.
