Transitional Kindergarten & Preschool

At Keppel, our youngest learners are a big part of our community. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is now a regular grade level that builds strong foundations in reading, math, and social-emotional skills. Our Preschool program is a separate, early-learning option that prepares children for TK and Kindergarten.
