  WHAT IS TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN (TK)?  

• TK provides children the gift of time to learn skills that will help them build a strong foundation for success in elementary school.
• California’s Kindergarten curriculum and standards have changed over the years, and many of the skills children were once taught in First Grade are now taught in Kindergarten.
• TK serves as a bridge between Preschool and Kindergarten giving children more time for hands-on, interactive learning.
• It gives children the opportunity to spend time learning important social, emotional and academic skills that will help them succeed in Kindergarten and beyond.
• TK provides young learners with a high-quality early education at no cost to parents, to ensure that they have an opportunity to continue learning.
• It helps children adjust to the school environment and develop strong learning skills.
• TK provides young five year olds with an opportunity to start their Kindergarten experience with children their own age, and with teachers that can tailor lesson plans to their needs.
