Transitional Kindergarten
For children who will be five years old by Sept. 15, 2025
We’re excited to announce our new transitional kindergarten (TK) program for the 2025-26 school year! This program gives children extra time to build the social and academic skills they’ll need to thrive in kindergarten. It’s perfect for students who:
- Have a birthday close to the kindergarten cutoff
- Need more support to reach kindergarten-readiness levels
- May benefit from a smaller, more focused environment
This option gives students an extra year to grow and prepare for the next big step! The TK program is full-day, free, and offers District transportation. TK classes will be offered in many, but not all, of our elementary buildings. Your child will be assigned to a school close to your home. If you live outside the district, you can open enroll in this program.
Kindergarten
For children who will be five years old by Sept. 15, 2025
Enrolling in kindergarten is an exciting time for Waukee CSD families! Our kindergarten program is designed to give your child a strong start to a bright future. With small class sizes (average of 21), welcoming classrooms, and caring teachers, our students show up each day excited to learn and grow.
