What is transitional kindergarten?
In general, kindergarten starts around age 5, followed by 1st grade, which would start around age 6, then all the grades in order. As a general rule, if someone is in the nth grade he or she is likely n+5 or n+6 years old. Most kids start kindergarten at age five. These are just in general. There is a window of time, several months, where a kid is on the border of meeting the cutoff age requirement.
