The transition to Kindergarten is both exciting and challenging!

To help caregivers with this important time in their child’s life, TCMU-Spartanburg has designed the Pop-Up Classroom program around South Carolina's Profile of a Ready Kindergartener, a partnership between South Carolina First Steps and The South Carolina Department of Education. 

Each classroom session focuses on a different skill rising 3K-5K learners should learn to be successful in a real classroom! TCMU-Spartanburg's museum classroom will be set up like a real classroom, to help familiarize young learners with this new type of environment. The program will also include free weekly books, provided through funding from Spartanburg County First Steps.
