“[My daughter] loved it! From a young age, they’re encouraged to motivate themselves, to learn, to keep going so they won’t be afraid of the first day of school when they are older.” — Alicia Ventura, Los Angeles Unified School District

“Quality learning means that my child has a place to go and learn. TK is not only providing her with the learning skills she needs to prepare her, but it’s also preparing her for the future. It’s giving her the confidence to be able to meet all her needs. I would recommend TK for everyone and this is the best time in a child’s life because they are like little sponges absorbing it all in.” — Iesha Foster, Compton Unified School District

“My son is thriving [in Kindergarten]…my son finished TK reading and writing…it was through play, through interactive activities…Not only is it academics that is very important for me, but it’s the whole child, and seeing my child excel in friendships, socially, and then being seen as a mentor within his peers, it means a lot, and that’s thankfully to the TK program he attended.” — Michelle Galindo, Chula Vista Elementary School District

“The more languages you know, the better off you are. To find a school where she can get those academic skills and practice her Armenian — me and my husband were beyond grateful. We hit the jackpot. We feel like she’s very well prepared [for Kindergarten].” — Karina Galustians, Los Angeles Unified School District parent of child in a Dual Language Immersion TK program

“It’s a great foundation. I think it really does help prepare children in many different ways.” — Jeannie Cruz, Castro Valley Unified School District
