Choose From Two Great TK Programs at TLC

⭐ TK Hybrid Homeschool at Chula Vista & La Mesa

Our Hybrid Homeschool program offers the perfect balance for families with TK aged children: 3 days on campus filled with hands-on exploration and social connection and 2 days at home for family bonding and learning activities. TK at TLC is the first of a two-year kindergarten program that uses an age and developmentally appropriate curriculum. Students still complete a full year of kindergarten after completing TK.

Homeschool Days

On home days, families receive engaging activities designed by their teacher to reinforce classroom learning. These are low-stress and playful activities like letter scavenger hunts, counting games, and cozy reading time that can fit into your family's schedule and strengthen the home-school connection.

Did you know? TK students and families travel to the zoo, parks, museums and so much more! Our school-wide events are favorites with our youngest learners.

⭐ TK Homeschool Program at Chula Vista, La Mesa & San Diego

For families who enroll in our Homeschool Program, we offer comprehensive support, a catalog of free curriculum, assistance with testing and academic standards, and access to all of our activities like arts programs, field trips, and community events. We take the guesswork out of homeschooling by pairing families with Educational Partners who help develop personalized learning plans, while still allowing you to maintain control over your child's education.

Meet Miss Amanda

"I love working with children and watching them discover the world around them. At TLC, we're not just a school – we're a community where staff, parents, and students really care about one another. My goal is to make every child feel safe, valued, and excited to learn."
