Natomas Unified is proud to share its steps in preparing for statewide expansion of Transitional Kindergarten classes. To date, NUSD has added four more TK classes in the 2022-2023 school year, an increase from the eight offered in the 2021-2022 school year.
Teachers have been undergoing training, and new curriculum is being piloted in language arts and social-emotional learning. We’re seeking input from teachers, parents, and students to help shape its courses for NUSD early learners.
TK courses are integral, as 90-percent of brain growth happens before a child enters kindergarten, research shared by the organization First Things First has shown.
Listen as Amanda Garcia, an Early Learning Coordinator with NUSD, explains how Natomas is preparing for the expansion of TK classes to all 4-year-olds by 2025.
