Young 5 - Bridge to Kindergarten
Sunshine Elementary is proud to be 1 out of 10 schools in the district to be able to offer the Young 5 - Bridge to Kindergarten program. This program is designed for incoming Kindergartners who have a birthday that falls between May 1st and September 1st and who may need the gift of time before entering a traditional Kindergarten program. We are currently in our 2nd year of offering this unique program that readies your child for the demands of Kindergarten.
Young Five serves as a bridge to Kindergarten by providing students time and support to develop core academic and social skills under the care and guidance of professional educators.
Young Five is designed for students who:
- Will turn 5 years old between May 1st and Sept. 1st
- Are developmentally young
- Will benefit from an extra year of school prior to Kindergarten
Young Five provides younger students with a strong foundation for school success by offering:
- Guided growth by professional educators certified and experienced in Early Childhood
- Early exposure to Kindergarten curriculum
- A learning environment tailored to meet developing academic and/or social needs
- An opportunity to start school with same age children
