To best meet the needs of our students and community, Brazosport ISD offers three early childhood programs:


Prekindergarten (PK):


Prekindergarten is an early learning program to prepare children for kindergarten who are identified as at risk. Prekindergarten provides learning to children who are 4 years old on or before September 1st.

The Prekindergarten Self-Assessment is a means of internal reflection and evaluation of current practices. Through the self-assessment, we identify areas of strength, prioritize key strategies for improvement, and plan for next steps to address areas of growth.
