Early Learning Matters
90% of Brian Development Occurs Before Age 5
Early childhood education is essential for equipping your child socially, emotionally, physically, and academically for success. At Clear Creek ISD, we are dedicated to igniting early learning within our communities through a variety of programs, including a free pre-kindergarten option for qualifying families, a tuition-based program, and early childhood special education.
With certified teachers providing exemplary learning experiences in safe and nurturing environments, all 27 elementary campuses offer full-day programs in both English and Bilingual formats, ensuring there’s a classroom in your neighborhood or just around the corner.
Let’s Learn Together
Pre-kindergarten inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and fosters a love of learning. Children who attend pre-K are five times more likely to be prepared for kindergarten.
Following Texas pre-kindergarten guidelines, our program emphasizes essential skills such as following instructions, adhering to routines, and exploring through questions. Additionally, children develop vocabulary, learn the alphabet and its sounds, and practice counting. This critical foundation boosts confidence and cultivates a positive relationship with the classroom.

If you suspect your child may have a disability, call the Early Childhood Special Education Evaluation Center (ECSEEC) at (281) 284-0330 to schedule a screening appointment. The Early Childhood Intake Center evaluates children between the ages of two and five who are not in a District Pre-K program and are not yet kindergarten age, to determine if a child has a disability and whether there is a need for special education services.
