What is Transitional Kindergarten and is my child eligible?
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is an early year kindergarten experience for children turning 4-years-old by September 1, 2025. Transitional Kindergarten gives our youngest kindergartners an early start and provides them with the opportunity to learn and grow in an environment tailored to meet their academic and social-emotional needs.
Parents of children who will turn 4-years-old on or after September 2, 2025 are eligible for Preschool and cannot enter TK. The District offers both tuition-based and income qualifying Preschool options. For questions please contact Amy Shultz at [email protected] or call 714-990-7581. Note: There will be limited enrollment in TK for students who are eligible for Kindergarten. With the expansion of TK, decisions will be made on space availability. Final decisions will be made in the Summer of 2025.
When is my child eligible for Kindergarten?
To enroll in Kindergarten your child must be 5-years-old by September 1, 2025.
