Curriculum
PreKindergarten
High-quality Pre-K programs positively affect young children's social, emotional, and academic development. Students can develop language, pre-math, and social skills, making the transition to kindergarten much more accessible. Registering your child in Sweeny ISD's Pre-K program will give them the gift of a brighter future. Studies show that children who attend Pre-K are more likely to succeed in school, more likely to graduate, and more likely to go to college. As adults, they also earn higher incomes, on average, than similar students who did not attend Pre-K.
Sweeny ISD is pleased to have you visiting our page and looks forward to the opportunity to teach your children. Please take some time to review the information below and begin the registration process.
The department of early childhood education in Sweeny ISD provides early learning opportunities for children who are three and four years old. Early childhood education increases student learning in language, literacy, and math and prepares children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
