Junior Kindergarten
River Road Early Learning Center is excited to introduce our Junior Kindergarten (JK) Program—a thoughtful bridge between preschool and kindergarten designed to support confident, well-prepared learners.
Junior Kindergarten is a full-day program for children who are ready for increased structure and academic learning but would benefit from an additional year before traditional kindergarten.
