Transitional Kindergarten or TK is a program that is designed to bridge the gap between Pre-K and Kindergarten. It is often referred to as the first year of a two-year kindergarten experience. The program is available for children who have completed Pre-k but are not quite ready for kindergarten or their birthday is too late for the kindergarten cut-off date. The curriculum and approach in Transitional Kindergarten is similar to a typical Kindergarten Curriculum and research has shown children who have attended TK have a much greater degree of success when they are in kindergarten. Trinity Lutheran Preschool, Pre-K, and TK is the only facility in the Carson Valley with a Universal TK program.
