Kennedale ISD Pre-kindergarten Program

Students enrolled in pre-kindergarten at Kennedale ISD are exposed to a variety of hands-on, authentic learning experiences that are based on the Texas Pre-kindergarten Guidelines.  They participate in a variety of learning centers based on the rationale “Learning to Play & Playing to Learn.”

Pre-kindergarten students are also taught foundational phonics skills through a program called Letterland.

Our pre-kindergarten teachers provide individualized support to every student so that each child may progress naturally along their own development pathway.
