The transition from preschool to “big school” is one of the most significant milestones in a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

To ensure the process is more exciting than exhausting, Miami-Dade County Public Schools<\/a> (M-DCPS) has officially launched its Transition to Kindergarten<\/a> (TTK) initiative for the 2026-2027 school year.<\/p>\n

The program is designed to bridge the gap between early childhood education and elementary school, helping incoming students and their parents build a sense of community before the first bell rings in August.<\/p>\n

For Key Biscayne families looking toward the upcoming school year, the TTK initiative offers a roadmap for enrollment and integration. Through the program, families can access:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Campus Tours: Opportunities to walk the halls and visit classrooms.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Orientations: Deep dives into daily routines and academic expectations.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0At-Home Resources: Tools to help children stay “kindergarten-ready” through the summer.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Registration Guidance: Personalized help navigating the enrollment paperwork.<\/p>\n

District officials encourage parents to contact their assigned neighborhood school directly to schedule tours and meet the administration. You can call the Key Biscayne K-8 Center at (305) 361-5418.<\/p>\n

By establishing these roots early, the district aims to ensure every child enters the classroom ready to thrive on day one.<\/p>\n

For more information, families can visit the District\u2019s dedicated portal at mdcpsearlychildhood.net<\/a> or call the Transition to Kindergarten office at (305) 238-5194 ext. 2281.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The transition from preschool to “big school” is one of the most significant milestones in a child\u2019s life.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1089,126,44388,86639,1973,123,125,124,2303],"class_list":["post-266484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-family","tag-key-biscayne","tag-kindergarten","tag-kindergarten-transition","tag-mdcps","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-preschool"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
