Welcome to Junior Explorers!

Our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) enrichment class is the perfect blend of learning and play! Students explore letters, numbers, and early literacy skills while developing fine motor abilities through hands-on activities. With a mix of independent discovery, small group activities, and whole class experiences, students build confidence, become more self-reliant, and practice important life skills like: kindness, problem-solving, and teamwork—all while developing a lifelong love of learning.

Classes for 4.5 to 5 yrs

Instructor: Karen Murray
