Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten Registration

Baldwin Park Unified School District Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year will begin March 11, 2024.  

Baldwin Park Unified School District is providing early admittance to students who qualify for transitional kindergarten, which is a bridge between preschool and kindergarten. It gives young learners a head start and provides them with an opportunity to learn and grow in an environment that is tailored to meet their academic and social needs. 

Transitional kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn in an enriching and academically challenging environment that nurtures their growth. Research shows that children who attend kindergarten readiness programs like transitional kindergarten are more likely to do well in school and attend college. Parents all over California recognize the benefits of transitional kindergarten, and many parents have already been enrolling their children in similar programs, public and private, for years. Offering transitional kindergarten will help all of our kids get the best start possible, with curriculum that is designed just for them. Transitional kindergarten will be offered at Bursch, De Anza,  Foster, Geddes, Kenmore, Tracy, Walnut and Vineland.
