Yes. Prek is unique.  Because it is the first time attending a Texas school for so many of our young scholars, immunizations must be up to date and submitted before your child can attend class. Please bring a copy of your child's shot records to your eligibility meeting, or drop them by your school's office before the first day of school.

As long as parents have the required documentation with them as outlined in the list above, the meeting should only take 5-10 minutes.

The income limits vary from household to household based on number of people in the home, total household income, and other factors.  However, if your child qualifies for SNAP, Medicaid, or TANF, then he/she will likely qualify for Uplift Pre-K.

Yes.  We will be testing to see if your child qualifies for English as a Second Language (ESL) program.

We strongly encourage families to attend the eligibility meeting scheduled for them by Uplift Education, but we understand that conflicts do arise.  If you are unable to attend your scheduled meeting, then please email upliftenrolls@uplifteducation.org to schedule a meeting.  Our spots for PreK fill quickly, so the sooner you can complete your eligibility meeting, the better chance you have of securing a spot for your child in Uplift Pre-Kindergarten. 

First day of school for the 2024-25 school year will be Tuesday, August 13, 2024.  All new students will be invited to Transition Camp on Monday, August 12, 2024.  Watch email for details. 

No. We do not offer a paid option.  Our free Pre-K program is a state-funded program, which only allows students who meet the eligibility requirements.
