Prekindergarten
The Waco ISD prekindergarten program is designed to develop skills necessary for success in the regular school curriculum including language, mathematics, and social skills. Full-day prekindergarten classes are available to families who qualify. A child is eligible for enrollment in a prekindergarten class if the child is at least three years of age and is unable to speak and comprehend the English language, educationally disadvantaged, or homeless. The term "educationally disadvantaged" means eligible to participate in the national free or reduced-price lunch program.

Developmental Milestones
Developmental Milestones are markers, or significant points, in the development of the whole child. Please remember that children are unique and follow their own timeline of development within an acceptable range. Some may be ahead of the typical milestone markers, some just on time, and others not quite there. These should be used only as a guideline for the parent. |
