KATY MAGAZINE | JANUARY 2019

By Jennifer Skelton and Ariana Pezeshki

Many Families move to Katy, Texas from all over the world because of the amazing public schools. But few know that Katy has many wonderful preschool programs to choose from before kids ever step foot in Kindergarten in Katy ISD. With registrations starting as early as January, the “preschool scene” is highly competitive in Katy. Here's a helpful guide on how to choose the best preschool for your little ones.

---

Below are broad categories of the type of curriculum including Traditional, Religious, Montessori and British. All schools in the traditional category have created a curriculum for themselves taking elements of the most favored programs such as Montessori, family-focused, fun-focused, STEAM, or academic focused.

Free preschool offered in Texas for children who qualify

A free, public pre-kindergarten education is offered in Texas to students deemed "at risk". Some of eligibility guidelines include unable to speak or understand a English, a child of a US military member or US military member who was injured or killed while serving, child of someone who is eligible for the Star of Texas award, or homeless. For a complete listing of eligibility and requirements, please go to the Katy ISD link listed below.

Tips for Choosing a Katy Preschool:

Schedule - Some preschools follow the local school district calendar therefore they are out many more days than a "daycare" setting"

Teacher Education - Does the school require and support teachers in continuing? Are those records kept at the school and can they provide them to you?

School Transportation - Does this school offer before/after school care? If possible, parents prefer to have their child attend a preschool that they can continue into

elementary school and will provide transportation to the school.

Health Code History - Have you checked the state database to learn what violations the school has received in the last few years?

Recommendations - Have any of your friend's children attended this school? What was their experience? A good resource is to ask for recommendations on a local Facebook group. Many moms won't hesitate to share their experiences with you.
