Lockwood Summer Kinder Bridge

Summer Kinder/TK Bridge is a 4 week, half-day program that focuses on preparing children for Kindergarten, engaging families with the school community and supporting children’s health and social emotional needs.

Through intentional play-based learning with an adapted Creative Curriculum, children can be more prepared to enter Kindergarten.

Students in Summer Kinder/TK Bridge are exposed to early literacy skills and begin learning phonemic awareness and the alphabet through play and exploration. At a 1:8 ratio, children have the opportunity to build relationships with other students and teachers and practice separating from their families at drop-off. They will familiarize themselves with the kindergarten classroom setting and learn to transition to and from recess/lunch time activities. Families practice routines such as coming to school on-time, communicating with teachers through Home-Visits, orientation and parent-teacher check-ins.
