The TK program is taught by credentialed teachers with specialized training in early childhood.  It runs 5 days a week. Children are enrolled in either an AM (8:20 - 11:45) or PM (11:45 - 3:10) session. TK offers a developmentally appropriate curriculum that allows students to explore, create, and learn through purposeful play-based activities. Social emotional, fine motor, and academic skills are all integrated in this hands-on program to build a strong foundation for kindergarten the following year.

TK is a bridge from Preschool to Kindergarten.  It does not replace kindergarten. The program uses California Preschool Learning Foundations and kindergarten standards to lay a solid educational foundation and prepare them for future academic success.

Transitional Kindergarten is intended to be the first year of a two-year kindergarten program.  Students will move to kindergarten the following year. We reserve a space for them at their school of residence, and they do not have to re-enroll.
