Prekindergarten
Prekindergarten is an important part of your child’s educational journey. Research shows that students who attend prek have higher levels of educational attainment and are more likely to graduate from high school and college. Lovejoy ISD believes in the importance of ensuring all children have the opportunity to participate in a high quality prekindergarten program to ensure a successful start for kindergarten and beyond.
