About Woodland Acres Elem Pre-K

Woodland Acres Elem Pre-K is a public pre-kindergarten program serving the parents and families of Houston. As a pre-k, Woodland Acres 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. Woodland Acres Elem Pre-K furthermore offers a part-time schedule that can work very well for families. Part-time early care & education gives students the structured learning time outside of the home, guided and directed by professionals, without sacrificing time with family. The part-time schedule at Woodland Acres Elem Pre-K means students play with the same peers, learn the same faces and get to build a real community outside the home, all the while freeing up parents to have those big blocks of time to get things done! Woodland Acres Elem Pre-K additionally 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 these communal activities.
