Early Childhood Programs
PreKindergarten Program
Research shows that providing access to high-quality pre-k programs for students improves their school readiness. Additional research studies have confirmed that quality prekindergarten programs reduce retention rates, dropout rates, and decrease referrals to special education. In Pflugerville ISD, we are committed to providing our prekindergarten students with a print-rich learning environment that stimulates the students’ language and listening skills. Prekindergarten classrooms enhance the growth and development of individual students by providing a plethora of activities that address the learning styles of the children. We promote the use of manipulatives to enrich and reinforce the academic skills that are being taught. Students engage in multi-sensory experiences that are in alignment with the state guidelines for prekindergarten.
Our prekindergarten learning opportunities include:
- Listening Comprehension
- Speech Production
- Vocabulary development
- Phonological Awareness
- Letter Knowledge and Word Recognition
- Number and Operations
- Patterns
- Measurement
- Science Concepts
- Fine Arts
- Physical Movement
- Technology Access and Exposure
Learning centers are used in our prekindergarten program to engage and motivate the students to become problem solvers and to encourage communication with peers. The centers are changed throughout the school year to reinforce the concepts and themes presented in the classroom. The use of learning centers also promotes self-responsibility, sharing with others, and following directions.
