Our Executive Director Patricia Lozano spoke with Lauren Gilger from Phoenix’s NPR member station KJZZ about the history and current expansion of Transitional Kindergarten (TK) in California.
“It began in 2010 when we noticed that kids got to kindergarten and they were not ready. A lot of them, especially those that didn’t have the opportunity to attend preschool, were behind or not at the same level compared to those that had access to preschool. So, California began to think about how we can give them the opportunity to start early.”
