Arlington ISD’s community-based pre-K program for 3-year-olds is the perfect solution for working parents. Launch kids on their educational journey while giving them a full day of childcare.
Arlington ISD’s community-based pre-K is a half-day pre-K program for 3-year-olds located in four local childcare centers. By enrolling in pre-K at the childcare center, families have the opportunity to also enroll in seamless, convenient day care both before and after the pre-K school day without ever having to leave and go to another care location. Plus, the pre-K program is taught by an Arlington ISD teacher with the same outstanding play-based curriculum, materials and technology used at Arlington ISD campuses.
“We’re excited about how this partnership with local childcare centers offers a resource for working parents, helps childcare centers with enrollment and allows the district to reach even more 3-year-olds,” said Dr. Jackeline Orsini, Arlington ISD early childhood director.
Community-based partners (see partner details) for 2022-2023 include:
- Child Care Network #259
- Kids Community Preschool – Arlington
- Kids Community Preschool – Grand Prairie
- Childtime
