TK Kinder Readiness Academy
Do you have an incoming TK or Kinder student who will be starting school next Fall? Then be sure to register for our TK & Kinder Readiness Academy so they're ready to start 2024-2025 school year.
El Monte City School District’s (EMCSD) TK Kinder Readiness Academy is a no-cost, hybrid learning experience designed to foster student and family engagement. Through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning, the overall goal is to emphasize the importance of early childhood education in order to ease new students and their families into their educational careers.
TK Kinder Readiness Academy is here to ease the home-to-school transition through meaningful activities promoting literacy, basic mathematics, and social-emotional learning. Our Academy builds a foundation for community and family involvement with our youngest students and families prior to starting their first years in school. By giving our students a strong foundational start, we hope to ensure high performance, growth, and development amongst our students.
The Academy takes place during the summer. All participating EMCSD students will be loaned an iPad & receive a school uniform! Student must be enrolled in EMCSD as a TK or Kindergarten student for the 2023-2024 school year. To enroll in school, visit www.emcsd.org/enrollment24-25/

Part of EMCSD’s foundational start is eliminating barriers for families above the income threshold to qualify for Early Head Start, Head Start, and State Preschool programs. TK Kinder Readiness is offered during the summer to our entire community at no cost. Families who are enrolled in our academy have access to:
- All supplies needed to be successful in the program, including an iPad and internet hotspot

- Upon completion of the program, students are given a free school uniform and supplies
This program is designed to give students confidence in their ability to learn and lead, while also empowering parents to help their children be prepared for school.
