By forming community based partnerships, the District offers half-day pre-kindergarten taught by Amarillo ISD teachers with university degrees at several locations. The District provides services to three and four-year-old children featuring best practices in teaching and learning, quality classroom resources and materials, current technology, and professional development. The community partners provide wrap-around care, space, and support services. These partnerships focus attention on how to bring children to their fullest potential by offering a full day high-quality program for working families.

Dual enrollment occurs when children are enrolled at child care or Head Start, and at an AISD campus.
