The primary goal of the Kirbyville Preschool is to prepare the 3 to 5-year-olds for kindergarten.  Students learn pre-academic skills in a structured atmosphere that prepares the preschool children for daily routines in kindergarten.  In addition to the academic instruction, social and emotional growth and development of expressive and receptive language skills are stressed.  The preschool has been very successful in meeting this goal in terms of general kindergarten readiness and results of a test measuring kindergarten students’ understanding of print concepts.  Kirbyville Preschool is a parent-pay program.  Tuition is currently $13.00 per day.  Parents of preschoolers must bring a birth certificate and immunization records to complete the enrollment process.  Kirbyville Preschool accepts enrollment from outside the school district. Preschool enrollment takes approximately 30 minutes and includes a developmental questionnaire for parents.  Hearing and vision screening is available.  Please call the Kirbyville Preschool (239-3917) if you have any questions regarding preschool enrollment.
