About Helms Elem Pre-K

Helms Elem Pre-K is a public pre-kindergarten program serving the parents and families of Houston. As a pre-k, Helms 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, Helms Elem Pre-K further provides the best for the most formative years! Children at Helms Elem Pre-K have an environment where day in and day out they can learn something new and explore with their peers. Parents will have a front-row seat to all the learning and cognitive development that comes with the stimulation of a full-time schedule. The full-time schedule also provides a real community for families, as children get to know each other well! Helms 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.
