What is TK?
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is part of the K-12 public school system and is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program. TK is essentially a free all-day preschool program that uses age and developmentally-appropriate curriculum for four-year-olds. Children who complete TK move on to kindergarten the following year, allowing a child to have two years of kindergarten experience before entering 1st grade. Newly passed legislation provides a universal and phased rollout of TK to all four-year-olds by the 2025-2026 school year. TK is now offered at all LMSV elementary schools.
