Free Pre-K for all 4-year-olds!

Each fall, every 4-year-old has the chance to shine in a FREE, full-day pre-K program designed to launch their educational journey with confidence, curiosity, and joy. And the best part? It’s open to all.

Every Arlington ISD Pre-K classroom is built on high-quality, developmentally appropriate learning. Our expert, certified teachers create joyful, engaging environments where children grow socially, emotionally, and academically, setting a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

Children build vocabulary, fine motor skills, and confidence, while laughing, exploring, and making friends. Whether they’re building with blocks, painting a masterpiece, or pretending to run a grocery store, they’re developing the social-emotional and cognitive skills they’ll need to thrive.

Because here’s the secret: when it feels like play, learning happens best.

Explore the options below to find the best fit for your child.
