Plano ISD provides a quality preschool program for children ages three to five at Pearson Early Childhood School.
This learning community allows the district to meet the state-mandated guidelines for prekindergarten students and the least restrictive environment mandate for preschool special education students as required by state and federal law. These young learners are educated daily by certified professionals. We provide a librarian, counselor, and nurse to meet the needs of the students. Our school caters to young learners within our state-of-the-art facility.
