The Houston County School District Pre-K Program strives to ensure that every child in every school has access to a high-quality education that promotes their academic, social, emotional, and physical development. We are committed to helping your child reach his or her fullest potential, prepared to enter kindergarten.  In partnership with our parents, we strive to meet each child's needs in all areas.  Together, we can accomplish great things and take pride in your child's success.

We welcome your questions and concerns.
