WFISD Employees,
Will you be working for WFISD as an employee during the 2024-2025 school year?
Do you have a child who will be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2024?
Is your child not eligible to participate in the state funded pre-k program?

If you answered “yes” to these three questions, then your child is eligible to participate in WFISD’s Tuition Based Pre-k Program for Children of District Employees!

Program Summary

  1. The Tuition Based Pre-k program is open to employees whose children would otherwise be ineligible to attend pre-k for free. Before enrolling in the tuition based program, be sure that you do not meet the state’s criteria for free pre-k. Visit TEA’s website for more information at https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/PK%20Eligibility%20Overview.pdf

  2. The program is limited to district employees who are the parent or legal guardian of the child. At this time, we do not have the capacity to open up the program to grandchildren of district employees, or nieces / nephews, etc. 

  3. If you are unsure if your child would qualify for free pre-k or you have questions, please send an email to  earlylearninfo@wfisd.net.

Tuition

  1. Tuition for this program is $300 per month for a total of 10 months. 

  2. The first deduction for employees participating for the 2024-2025 school year will be deducted from the employee’s August 2024 paycheck. The last deduction will be in May 2025.   There will be a  total of 10 months of deductions.

  3. Employees hired after the cutoff date for August payroll who receive their first paycheck in September will be deducted beginning with their September 2024 deductions. 

  4. The only option to pay tuition is through payroll deduction.
