About Garfield Elem Pre-K

Garfield Elem Pre-K is a public pre-kindergarten program serving the parents and families of Houston. As a pre-k, Garfield 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. If you’re a Houston parent looking for flexible early childhood education, too, look no more. The part-time schedule at Garfield Elem Pre-K allows parents to get the best of professional care and education in a setting amongst a child’s peers but also not be away from family for too long. Students will enjoy a learning environment that promotes growth and development all the while getting used to a structured day, which will help the transition into the future. Garfield Elem Pre-K likewise takes a play-based approach to children's development and learning, facilitating education through interactive, hands-on activities that get children moving. Play-based environments structure their spaces to encourage students to move with independence, passion and explore at their own direction. Staff in these environments encourage and galvanize students to lean into their interests and build their own worlds in cooperation with their peers, and students gain cooperative, social and emotional skills as a result of this community.
