Why CA TK leaders choose Khan Academy Kids

Built for 4–5-year-olds: Playful lessons, centers-friendly activities, and offline printables for whole-group, small-group, and independent practice.
Standards-informed: Supports Preschool/TK Learning Foundations domains (language & literacy, math, SEL) and foundational skills focus areas (print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics/word recognition, fluency).
Research-backed: A randomized study led by UMass Amherst showed significant pre-literacy gains for 4–5-year-olds using Khan Academy Kids.
Family connection: Extend TK learning at home with simple, joyful practice.
Simple to implement: $5 per student includes the web-based teacher dashboard (mobile app remains free), enhanced reporting, live PD, and ongoing support.

For $5 per student, a school- or district-wide partnership brings consistent practice to every TK classroom—shared data, aligned centers, and equitable access—PD and support included.
