DeSoto ISD is excited to announce the 2025 Commit to Kinder Registration Events, a series of essential opportunities for families to secure a place for their child in DeSoto Independent School District’s prekindergarten and kindergarten programs for the 2025-2026 school year.
Access to early childhood education supports healthy development in the early years of students' social, emotional, and intellectual development. It provides building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities, and successful parenting of the next generation.
Children who have access to early childhood education are less likely to repeat a grade level; are better academically prepared as they matriculate through school; are more likely to graduate from high school, go to college, and earn higher wages in their careers, meaning that they are better positioned to lead and advance as adults.
The research is clear and that’s why DeSoto ISD is working hard to ensure every child in the DeSoto and Glenn Heights communities has access to early childhood education in the district through enriching pre-K and kindergarten access.
The DeSoto ISD’s upcoming pre-K and kinder registration events will provide families with all the necessary resources and support to ensure a smooth enrollment process in the district’s renowned early childhood education programs.
