The Kindergarten Preparatory Program (KPP) is for students who are at least 4 years old by August 1 and not enrolling in kindergarten in the 2023-2024 school year. The KPP is a 5-half day a week program with sessions in the morning or afternoon. Each class serves approximately 14 students and is housed at Wilcox Primary School with a lead teacher and classroom assistant. The program uses project-based learning strategies which encourages developmentally appropriate skills and prepares students for the expectations of tomorrow’s learners.

The Kindergarten Preparatory Program will follow the same curriculum as the Integrated Preschool Program. However, the teachers will use a project-based approach as the method in which students will learn the curriculum. A project-based approach encourages developmentally appropriate skills and prepares students for the expectations of tomorrow’s learners.

Although the Kindergarten Preparatory Program is an extension of the Twinsburg City School District’s current 5-Star Step Up To Quality rated program, the KPP will offer some differences such as meeting five half-days, exploring art, music, and physical education within their classrooms, themed field trips, and a project–based learning environment that fosters student inquiry and engagement.

Selecting and enrolling strong typically developing peer models for the Integrated Preschool Program will continue to be the focus for the Twinsburg City School District. These openings will be filled first. Kindergarten Preparatory Program annual tuition is $2,100 (subject to change) and scholarship opportunities based on financial need are available for families who qualify for the Kindergarten Preparatory Program only. KPP applications will be accepted through March 15 for the following school year.
