Northside’s High-Quality Prekindergarten Program utilizes an instructional framework that supports a play-based curriculum that prepares students to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Many of our classrooms have specialized programming that includes bilingual, ESL, and special education. Northside’s Prekindergarten classrooms are taught by teachers with college degrees and Texas certifications with specialized training in early childhood education. All ten domains of the PreKindergarten Guidelines are taught throughout the full-day prekindergarten program. These domains include Social emotional, Emergent Literacy Communication, Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Fine Arts, Physical Development, and Technology.
