Transition Kindergarten
Traditionally, the children in this program have had two years of preschool, and turn five-years-old in the summer or fall. The class consists of children from our Older Preschool class, and children from other local programs.
Children in this class continue to develop and strengthen their emotional and social skills as well as their cognitive skills, through activities such as group times, journals, field trips, and plenty of supervised free playtime.

Rockwell Preschool has been a second home to my daughter for the past three years. She has made wonderful friendships and has loved all of her teachers. Rockwell provides a loving, caring and stimulating environment for preschool children. They come home with beautiful art projects, but also have ample time to play outside on the three amazing playgrounds. They also schedule lots of enrichment classes to include, movement, music and soccer. The “stay day” afternoons have been amazing too and offer working parents a longer school day. - Mary McKee |
