Transitional Kindergarten (TK) bridges the gap between preschool and kindergarten. The optional program provides students with an additional year of preparation, so they enter kindergarten with stronger academic, social, and emotional skills needed for future success in school. 

California is expanding TK programs to make it available to all 4-year-olds by 2025-2026. The new program will be gradually phased in to existing TK classrooms until it covers all 4-year-olds in the state.

For admittance into transitional kindergarten, students must turn 5 years of age between September 2, 2023 through April 2, 2024.

For admittance into kindergarten, students must be 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2023.

To register a child for kindergarten or transitional kindergarten, parents/guardians should have the following documents available to scan:

• Proof of child’s date of birth (certified copy of Birth Certificate, Notarized Affidavit of Birth, Baptismal Certificate, Physician’s Certificate/Hospital Certificate, County Recorder’s Certificate, Passport, or Family Bible. Ed Code 48002).

• Child’s current Immunization record including: Up to date vaccinations (4 Polio (3 is acceptable if the last dose was given on or after the fourth birthday), 5 DTaP (4 is acceptable if the last dose was given on or after the fourth birthday), 2 MMR (both given on or after the first birthday), 3 Hepatitis B), and 2 Varicella (chickenpox) vaccinations or verification through CAIR-ME medical exemption process that the child has had chickenpox, confirmed by a physician. Letters of confirmation, personal exemptions, and religious exemptions for vaccinations are no longer accepted in California as of January, 2016. All exemptions must be processed through CAIR-ME.

• Verification of residence (utility bill, receipts from rent or property tax payments).

• Proof of child’s health screening (physical exam) within the last 12 months.

• Proof of dental exam within the last 12 months.

Students who are not up to date on their immunizations will not be allowed to attend school until their immunizations are up to date.
