Where to Start for TK

🚧 UNDER CONSTRUCTION for the 2026-2027 School Year 🚧

Here are some tips from parents who were brand new in the past...

• Stay on top of communication with your EF and don't be afraid to ask questions.

• Take one step at a time and be patient with yourself and your child.

• Use this year to build a love for learning through daily life, books, play, games, socialization, music and movement.

• Take advantage of TK SIT (Synchronous Instruction Time, or daily live instruction via Zoom) and the resources that go with each week.

Once you hear from your child's Educational Facilitator (EF), you will work together to complete the following tasks, one step at a time...

• Get to know each other and go over important information to get started

• Sign documents to complete enrollment

• Discuss options and opportunities for learning

• Determine what will be used for learning, which could be...

  • • One of the TK Curriculum Bundle options

    • Build your own curriculum, which your EF can help with

    • TK Synchronous Instruction Time (SIT) and weekly correlating resources, which your EF can explain

    • Enroll in classes, lessons, etc. with one of iLEAD's Community Providers

• Go over your child's Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) (start at 2:50) and expectations

• Set up a time for testing and a time to meet a few weeks after school starts

At iLEAD, we call the important expectations and requirements "Big Rocks". Your EF will explain all of these throughout the first few week, but here is what they include:

• Follow your child's ILP (start at 2:50), which your EF will share with you and walk you through

• Submit Work Samples (start at 7:30)

• Complete Weekly Check-Ins (start at 9:11) with your Educational Facilitator (EF)

• Meet with your EF, via Zoom or in-person, with learner present (start at 9:40)

• Sign Attendance/Learning Logs (start at 10:58) on the last day of each learning period
