The Interest in Attending Form for the VISD Prekindergarten Program for State-Funded or Tuition-Based Prekindergarten will open on Wednesday, February 1.
VISD offers a full-day program for students who meet the eligibility requirements and turn three or four on or before Sept. 1. Each child will require separate applications.
The 3K/4K Interest Form is to help our school community prepare for your child to attend school. Planning for teachers, classrooms, and materials is dependent on the knowledge of who is coming to school. Quality early education is critical to a child’s social, emotional, and academic development. Preparing and offering a smooth transition to school creates a solid foundation for a lasting love of learning.
The Victoria ISD Prekindergarten Program, also known as 3K, 4K, or Pre-K, are educational programs for children who are three or four years old. These programs are designed to prepare young children for the academic and social challenges of kindergarten and beyond.
VISD Pre-K programs utilize the Frogstreet curriculum, Handwriting Without Tears, and an extensive STEAM program for all children every day. Every classroom has a certified teacher and a paraprofessional to support learning and provide high-quality instruction. The teacher and paraprofessional have received extensive training in curriculum and childhood development.
The Victoria ISD Early Childhood program was nationally recognized as one of the “Frog Street Excellence in Education Award” winners for the 2021-22 school year. The award recognized the passion, dedication to excellence, and inspiration of the team to meet the needs of their young learners.
The Tuition-Based Prekindergarten Application will also open on Wednesday, February 1, and it will close on Friday, February 17. The Tuition-Based Prekindergarten Application is required for all families interested in their child enrolling that do not meet the eligibility requirements for the state-base program. Not meeting the required deadlines will disqualify your child’s application as there is limited seating available.
The regular tuition rate for tuition-based Pre-K for the 2023-24 school year is $3,800.
Letters of Acceptance/Denial will be mailed to parents/guardians beginning Friday, March 3. If accepted, an Acceptance Response Form and a Payment Option Form will also be sent and are due by April 1 to maintain priority placement.
