About Valley West Elem Pre-K

Valley West Elem Pre-K is a public pre-kindergarten program serving the parents and families of Houston. As a pre-k, Valley West 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, Valley West Elem Pre-K further provides what parents want in care and education. Full-time care allows students to get the best of a real community outside of the home - chock full of learning, laughter, play and fun - with the strength of a structured program and structured day that’ll benefit them down the road. Parents get the time they need to work while watching their children grow leaps and bounds in language and cognitive development. Valley West 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.
