Transitional Kindergarten
CRLA Capistrano welcomes our youngest students to TK (Transitional Kindergarten) this fall! TK is the first year of a two-year Kindergarten program that uses a modified Kindergarten curriculum which is age and developmentally appropriate.
Children who have a birthdate between September 2, 2020 and September 1, 2021 are eligible for TK in 2025/26. Our unique program offers two options: AM and PM (8:15-11:45 AM or 11:15 AM-2:45 PM). Teacher-supervised lunch time is offered for both sections of TK.
All students will be taught in a 12:1 student to teacher ratio setting. Through meaningful and developmentally appropriate instruction, social and emotional instruction and support, play, and virtue-based instruction, our TK class will become the foundation of all that we hope to build in our students.
Because CRLA is a charter school, parents receive the benefit of an excellent and free education for their child. Because CRLA is a classical school, students receive the benefit of a content-rich curriculum and robust education. Our TK students will be taught by a credentialed teacher who will provide instruction in:
Math (Singapore Math)
Literacy (Literacy Essentials)
History/Science/Music/Art (Core Knowledge sequence)
Leadership (LeaderInMe, Franklin Covey Education)

Improved self-control and ability to manage emotions
Higher achievement in math and reading throughout elementary school
