If your child qualifies based on one or more of the eligibility criteria, your child may attend the state-funded (free for qualifying children) Pre-K program in Birdville ISD.

If your child does not qualify for pre-K, there is a tuition-based program that families can apply for the coming school year.

Pre-K Options:

• Pre-K Age 3 (PK3)

  Birdville ISD provides space in the pre-K half-day program for students who will be three years old by Sept. 1. BISD campuses are centered around families. Like you, we want the very best for your child. Enrollment begins April 1. As space remains available, additional lotteries will be considered until school starts in August. Come see why others choose to be a part of our Birdville family!
   

• Pre-K Age 4 (PK4)
  Birdville ISD provides space in the pre-K full day program for students who will be four years old by Sept. 1. Pre-K 4 is available on every campus. It is our goal to provide students with placement as close to their home as possible.
   
• Pre-K Age 4 (Tuition-Based)
  If your child did NOT qualify for state-funded prekindergarten (pre-K), then you may participate in Tuition-Based pre-K. Details on the tuition and non-refundable application fee will be available in April.
  • We will have pre-K at every elementary campus; however, there may not be space available at every campus.
  • Once notified, the first month's tuition and administrative fee are due at time of placement to hold the spot for the school year.
  • Students will be placed based on space availability at one of their top three campus choices, if applicable.

Kindergarten programs can help children develop the social, emotional and academic skills they need to succeed in school and in life in a safe and supportive environment. Kindergarten is the first year of formal education and is often when children learn to read, write, and do basic math.  

Kindergarten programs can:

• Help children develop important social skills;
• Help children learn to follow rules and routines; and
• Provide children with a safe and supportive environment 

It is important to remember that every child is different, and your child's kindergarten experience may differ from that of other children. However, the above points should give you a general idea of what to expect.
