Campuses

Which Daly City campuses have a TK class?

12 campuses in Daly City had a TK class in 2025–26.

Campuses by TK headcount

Each campus’s TK headcount is from the state’s 2025–26 October enrollment count. Each Scope Score and percentile compares a school’s elementary grades with California elementary schools. A campus without elementary results shows none.

Each headcount counts the students enrolled on one October day, so it shows who enrolled, not seats open now. A campus missing here may still run TK; confirm with the school or district.

Before TK

Too young for TK? Where can my child go?

Daly City has 40 licensed child care programs.

family child care homes

A child born after September 1, 2023 isn’t old enough for TK in 2027–28. Until they are, look at Daly City’s centers and family child care homes, and ask each one about ages and openings.
