Benavidez Elem Pre-K

About Benavidez Elem Pre-K

Benavidez Elem Pre-K is a public pre-kindergarten program serving the parents and families of Houston. As a pre-k, Benavidez Elem Pre-K provides a structured, stable learning environment that replicates the best of the formal school years ahead and is hosted on the same campus where they may even be able to attend kindergarten once they graduate pre-k. Pre-k provides more resources and opportunities for students to explore the world around them, as well as a bevy of peers and socialization opportunities. With a full-time schedule, as well, Benavidez Elem Pre-K allows parents to work and assume other responsibilities while their children are playing and learning amongst their peers. Children have the opportunity to get used to the natural rhythms of a daily structured learning environment with a full-time schedule, which can help smooth the transition into kindergarten and future education. The full-time schedule allows plenty of opportunities for creativity and fun, too, as the day always feels too short when you’re having fun! Benavidez Elem Pre-K also takes a play-based approach to facilitating the learning and development of students. A play-based educational approach emphasizes theme-based, hands-on activities that get students involved, often in the areas of learning that they’re particularly interested in at the time. Play-based schools like Benavidez Elem Pre-K focus on the process of learning and the social, emotional skills built along the way and often break their physical settings up to encourage and facilitate different play in different areas.
