TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN (TK)

Available as part of the JCS Home Study Program only

 

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is for children who turn five between September 2 and December 2 and is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that uses age-appropriate curricula aligned to the Common Core State Standards.  TK curriculum is different than kindergarten curriculum.  The curriculum is centered on hands-on activities and enrichment experiences to encourage children to be lifelong learners from a young age.  TK students will enter Kindergarten the following year.   TK students receive the same educational unit allotments as other K-8 students.

JCS also offers TK, second semester, for students who turn five between December 3 through the enrollment cut off date.  These students may enroll second semester as long as they are 5 years old.  So, for example, if the student turns five on February 7, 2017, they may enroll on February 7, 2017 (birthdate is Feb. 7, 2012).  Specific TK curriculum will be available for all TK students.

 

Learning Center classes are available for TK students in Temecula, Ramona and San Diego.
