Transitional Kindergarten (TK)

Transitional Kindergarten (TK)

At Chino Valley Unified School District, we are proud to offer a high-quality Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program that helps our youngest learners build a strong foundation for success in kindergarten and beyond.

 

Our half-day TK program is available at several schools throughout the district, with both morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) class options as available. While families may indicate a preferred school, placement is based on space availability and program capacity, so a specific school site cannot be guaranteed.

To verify a student's age eligibility, proof of age must be presented to a Student Support Services’ staff member after submitting the application.
