HISD Aims to Partner with Outside Pre-K Programs for Exciting Dual Enrollment Opportunity

The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is actively engaging with external pre-kindergarten providers to establish dual enrollment programs aimed at enriching early childhood education. This forward-thinking approach is designed to integrate community-based pre-K settings with HISD’s curriculum and resources, offering families a broader spectrum of educational choices and facilitating a smoother transition into kindergarten. By fostering these collaborations, HISD aligns with a nationwide movement to increase pre-K accessibility and continuity, ultimately striving to elevate academic preparedness throughout the Houston area.

Essential elements of this partnership model include:

• Curriculum synchronization to guarantee uniform learning objectives between HISD and partner institutions
• Professional development and ongoing support for educators to uphold high teaching standards
• Engagement programs for families to strengthen community ties and support student development
• Integrated data management systems to monitor student progress and inform instructional improvements
