Full-Day Pre-K at YISD
-
The Ysleta Independent School District (YISD) is now offering a new full-day pre-kindergarten program free of charge at select campuses for qualified El Paso-area families for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Ysleta ISD is now the first among the city’s three largest public school districts to offer the new full-day pre-K program, thanks to the passage of House Bill 3, which was signed into law in June and provides state funding for full-day pre-K programs for families who meet certain criteria.
Since HB3 was signed into law, YISD officials have worked promptly and diligently to make the full-day program available at select campuses to families this upcoming school year. As a result, parents can now begin registering for full-day pre-K at participating YISD schools.
The Program
-
Ysleta ISD's Pre-K program is designed to promote children’s knowledge and skills in all developmental areas— cognitive, social/emotional, physical, and aesthetic—and to establish a foundation for lifelong learning.
The prekindergarten program reflects the belief that children are active learners. They build meaning and understanding through full participation in their learning environments. This child-centered program combines high expectations for each child with respect for individual development.Learning Centers
Prekindergarten uses the center approach to learning. Centers are areas with educational materials that provide opportunities for different types of learning during Work Time.
Learning Centers are pre-planned by the teacher to support the skills that are previously taught. A writing component is embedded within each center.
