Transitional Kindergarten – Coming June 2026!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) class within the Full-Day Program beginning June 2026. TK provides a bridge between Pre-K and Kindergarten, offering students the time to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a developmentally supportive environment.

Our TK classroom will build upon the strong foundation of our Pre-K program with:

  • More advanced handwriting and early reading instruction
  • Expanded social–emotional learning opportunities
  • A shorter rest period to mirror the structure of Kindergarten
  • A new classroom environment with a dedicated teaching team

Eligibility Requirements:
Students may participate in TK if they have completed a Pre-K year or have a birthday between February 2021 and January 2022. Must register in the January registration window.

We are excited to offer this next step for families seeking an additional year of growth, confidence-building, and Kindergarten readiness within our nurturing WDS community.

Registration for 2026-2027 Enrollment

Registration for the upcoming school year opens each January and can be accessed via a link on this page. The Full-Day program runs from June through May, with available spaces typically opening in June.

  • Expectant mothers must have a due date to be eligible to register for the Full-Day Weekday School waitlist.
  • Our waitlists are refreshed after the January registration period concludes. Families remain on the waitlist according to their initial date of entry. Once registration closes, the waitlist becomes inactive for the remainder of the school year, and no new names can be added during this period. An additional registration window for infants only opens in June.
  • Registration for the Full-Day program opens on January 12 at 8 a.m. and closes January 16.
  • Enrollment letters will be emailed to all registered families within 1 month of registration.

Children cannot be added to the waitlist outside of our registration window (siblings of currently enrolled students are the only exception).
