What is TK?

• The TK program at REACH prepares children to succeed both socially and academically. Our teachers use a variety of engaging, interactive resources with a focus on learning through play. Read more about the benefits of play based learning here.
• Research shows that children who are able to attend this extra year of early education are better prepared for Kindergarten.
