The kindergarten program in the Plano Independent School District has been developed within Texas Education Agency guidelines. The program is uniquely adapted to meet the needs and interests of the kindergarten child.
The kindergarten program is designed to promote children's knowledge and skills in all developmental areas - cognitive, social/emotional, physical, and aesthetic - and to establish a foundation for lifelong learning.
The kindergarten program reflects the belief that children are active learners. They build meaning and understanding through full participation in their learning environments. This child-centered program combines high expectations for each child with respect for individual development.

If your child is entering kindergarten for the upcoming school year, you can apply to attend Huffman Elementary Primary Years Programme (PYP), an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School.
This program fosters the development of knowledgeable, principled and internationally minded citizens. IB PYP focuses on the whole child, develops effective approaches to teaching and learning, works to increase an understanding of languages and culture and explores globally significant ideas and issues. Our scholars approach the world with an open mind and aspire to understand the different perspectives and ideas of others, while helping to create a more peaceful world.
