Kinder Transition Teacher Leaders (KTTLs)

These teacher leaders are dyads of Kindergarten/TK and Preschool teachers working together to transform how schools engage young children and their families to ensure early school success.

The following is a list of Kinder Transition Teacher Leaders (PreK-Kinder) working together at their school sites to support early school success from preschool to elementary school.

Kinder/TK Family Welcome Videos

In 2019-2020 the Kinder Transition Teacher Leaders created Family Welcome Videos to orient new families to Kinder and TK.

Below are direct links to three beautiful videos that were created as well as a link to additional videos here.

• Cantonese: Ms. Lam from La Escuelita Elementary School welcomes all new Kinder/TK families!
