HELP FOR STEM: Transitional Kindergarten: A transitional kindergarten (TK) program is an extra year of
school before kindergarten starts. It is different from preschool, Head Start, or prekindergarten. TK may be
for children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be ready for kindergarten. Schools
have different names for these programs (for example, early transitional kindergarten (ETK), readiness
kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or one with multiple grades), but all
are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school, or an early childhood setting
such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It may be a full- or part-day
program and have regular and/or special education.
Transitional First Grade: Transitional first (or pre-first) grade is a school program between kindergarten and
first grade. The name of this program may vary by school (for example, a K-1 class or placement). It is for
children who have attended kindergarten, but need more time to be ready for first grade. Children in this
program may be part of a regular first-grade classroom or in a separate classroom.
