School District TK/K Programs

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a part of the state’s Universal PreKindergarten mixed delivery system to meet the early education needs of four-year-old children and their families. TK is an essential part of transforming California’s schools and giving every student in California a great start. Families have the choice to send their child to a TK program. 
Transitional kindergarten (TK) is the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that uses a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate. Each elementary or unified school district must offer TK classes for all children eligible to attend. A child who completes one year in a TK program may continue in a kindergarten program for one additional year. Each elementary or unified school district must offer kindergarten classes for all children eligible to attend. 

Transitional Kindergarten will be available to all 4-year-olds by 2025-2026. Below is the contact information for the Sacramento County school districts offering Transitional Kindergarten. To find out which school serves your zip code, visit the SCOE Interactive Boundaries Map page.
