Kinder & Transitional Kindergarten
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a specially designed early learning program that serves as a bridge between preschool and traditional Kindergarten. Offered at all Lynwood Unified elementary schools, TK helps young learners gain the academic and social skills needed for long-term success in school.
TK is ideal for children who turn 4 years old on or before September 1 and may benefit from an extra year of development before entering traditional Kindergarten. With today’s increasing academic expectations, TK provides a strong foundation in a nurturing and age-appropriate setting.
