The Power of Early Learning
Did you know 90 % of a child’ s brain develops before age five? These early years are key to building a strong academic foundation. That’ s why we offer free full-day Pre-K and Kindergarten programs designed to support growth in every way.
Our Pre-K program serves 4-year-olds in a nurturing, structured environment led by certified teachers. It focuses on essential skills like socialization, language, and confidence, setting children up for success in Kindergarten and beyond.
From our nurturing Pre-K classrooms to our dynamic Kindergarten programs, Garland ISD ensures every student starts strong and stays ahead.
Tailored Learning for Every Child
With Garland ISD’ s Choice of School program, families can select the campus that best fits their child’ s needs. From specialized magnet programs to innovative schools of choice, we offer unique learning environments for every student.
We also provide dual language programs in Spanish and Vietnamese at select campuses, allowing students to become bilingual early. The Montessori Magnet Program encourages critical thinking and creativity for families seeking a hands-on, self-directed approach.
Pre-K & Kindergarten: A Strong Start
Our Pre-K program builds early literacy, math, science, social studies, and art skills in a well-rounded, engaging environment. Research shows that children who attend Pre-K are more likely to graduate from high school, making it an investment in their future. Pre-K students build independence and problem-solving skills while developing a love for learning, giving them a strong foundation for Kindergarten and beyond.
In Kindergarten, students take the next step in their education by strengthening reading, writing, and math skills. They explore the alphabet, learn letter sounds, practice counting, and discover the world through science and art. With personalized instruction from expert teachers, they build confidence and curiosity in a fun, hands-on environment that prepares them for elementary school and beyond.
