Early Childhood Education (Pre-K)

A child’s early years are the foundation for his or her future development, providing a strong base for lifelong learning. Optimizing the early years of children’s lives is the best investment we can make in ensuring their future success. Pre-K education can play a critical role in that.

In our Pre-K program, children gain important exposure to numbers, letters, and shapes, while also developing social and emotional skills that prepare them for success throughout their educational career. With a certified teacher in each classroom, students are taught conscious discipline, a curriculum that teaches social and emotional behaviors such as how to get along with other children, how to share, and how to contribute in an educational environment. Students participate in play-based learning and are encouraged to have a voice and a choice.

Springdale Schools Pre-K classrooms are located throughout the district, with an Early Childhood Center housing only preschoolers, a dedicated wing for Pre-K at Childers Knapp Elementary School, and 73 Pre-K classrooms established in many schools around the district.
