Our curriculum prepares every child to be kinder ready by providing instruction focused on each child's academic, physical, and social-emotional development. Our students engage in interactive and hands-on activities that allow students to reach their full potential. 
All students qualify for Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 programs as longs as they are 3 or 4 years old on or before September 1st of the school year in which they will be attending. 
In addition to our high-quality Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 programs, our students also benefit  from the following services at all 31 elementary campuses:
  • High-quality and engaging After-School programs: All Pre-K 3 & 4 students have the option of participating in their campus' after-school program.

These programs begin after the school day and end at 5:00 p.m.
