Pre-Kindergarten

In AISD, Pre-Kindergarten (PreK4) is a full-day program for children who turn four on or before September 1st of the current school year. It is designed to meet the needs of a child's early years, which are a period of rapid growth. It is during this period that key concepts are developed which directly correlate to a student's future academic success. PreK4 is an exciting time for students and for parents. For many families, PreK4 is the introduction into the public school system.

To qualify for the federally-funded program, students must be: limited-english proficient (LEP), or; educationally disadvantaged, or; child of active military parent, or; homeless

To apply for the tuition-based program, parents must apply directly to the PreK office during the designated application window that occurs in early spring. Acceptance is determined through a lottery system.
