Thousand Oaks TK
Hello,
I have a 4 year old and am looking at TK in the north Berkeley school choices (BAM, Rosa Parks, Ruth Acty, Thousand Oaks). It looks like this year (2024-2025) Thousand Oaks did not have a TK, do any current Thousand Oaks parents know if Thousand Oaks will have a TK for 2025-2026?

I'm not a current Thousand Oaks parent, but I see them listed on the flyer for 2025 information nights, so I assume they will have TK next fall. It's here: https://www.berkeleyschools.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2025-Informa…
Hi! Not 100% sure but I assume TO will continue to have TK in 2025---especially since TK eligibility is expanding.
Unsolicited review but when I was in your spot last year, there was very little about Thousand Oaks on BPN
Our son is in Thousand Oaks TK this year and all I can say is WOW! The class has exceeded our expectations. Teacher Hazelle is an experienced teacher who's passion is working with the younger students. They also have a full time instructional aide who gives all the students lots of love and support. My son is thrilled to go school everyday and they get PE, garden time and library every week in addition to lots of art and activities in the classroom.
I did all the tours last year and other schools showed up much better with more polished tours and information nights vs TO which I think swayed a lot of parents away. If the school was not so close to our home, I'm not sure it would have been our first choice. Now as a parent in the TO community, I'm so happy where we landed. TO now has a new principal and continues to have an active PTA so the community is inviting and there are lots of events.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
I'm not sure that's right--I know a parent whose daughter went to Thousand Oaks last year (2023-2024) for TK, so I would be surprised if they didn't have it this year. In any event, that same parent is planning to enroll her younger child at Thousand Oaks for TK next year and has been told by school admin that they will have TK (it's also one of the schools we're considering sending our kiddo to for TK next year so I've also been investigating!).
