Here’s How To Enroll Your Kid In YISD’s Free Full-Day Pre-K Classes

If you have kiddos you know that it's kind of a hassle to have your young ones in half day pre-kindergarten classes. You have to leave work to go get them, then you need to either drop them off with grandma or get them to a day care, and all this is usually done on your lunch hour from work. It's stressful on both parents and kids. This year, however, the Ysleta Independent School District is offering free, all-day pre-kindergarten. Click here for the YISD website.
