Beyond crayons and circle time: What California transitional kindergarten needs to succeed
In this article from CalMatters, our Senior Policy Analyst Kelly Reynolds speaks with their K-12 education reporter Carolyn Jones about California’s expansion of Transitional Kindergarten to provide a free, high-quality preschool option for all 4-year-olds in the state by 2026.
“We want to make sure all 4-year-olds are being served in high-quality programs, and families know the breadth of opportunities available to them,” she said. “I do think we’re on track. Enrollment is trending upwards, and we’re seeing there’s a real demand for TK.”
