Pre-K Palooza is July 15
Arlington ISD’s pre-K teachers – all of them certified in early childhood education – bring a special skill set to the classroom and a big helping of patience, kindness and, most of all, love. They’ll do whatever it takes to help their “kiddos” succeed.
“Our pre-K teachers create a strong foundation with our youngest learners in a magnificent and magical way!” said Little Elementary principal Beth Anne Woodard, a former pre-K teacher herself. “If you’re ever having a rough day, walk into a pre-K classroom and all your worries will disappear. Pre-K … one of the happiest places on a campus!”
But don’t take our word for it. Ask our pre-K parents. Here are a what a few of them had to say about their little learners’ teachers.
But first, don’t forget Pre-K Palooza is July 15! The fun family event will help you get your pre-K or kindergarten student registered for the new school year. Sign up for Pre-K Palooza here.

Short Elementary Parent
Teacher: Judy Daniels
Ms. Daniels has been such an angel and blessing in my daughter’s life. I was so nervous that she wasn’t going to like school or do well. All my worries went to rest though when she started telling me about the activities they would do at school and how much she loved Ms. Daniels. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher.
