    Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines

    In fall 2015, TEA established a 13-member review committee consisting of classroom teachers

    and administrators from early childhood programs in public schools, higher education faculty,

    and early learning experts from across the state to participate in the revision of the Texas

    Prekindergarten Guidelines. The revised prekindergarten guidelines are aligned with the

    Kindergarten Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), sequenced to follow child

    development and give teaching strategies for each of the guidelines. The new guidelines offer

    educators the information and support to prepare all children for success in Kindergarten.

    The Texas Education Agency has posted the new Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines (Revised

    2015). The updated guidelines will be implemented beginning with the 2016-2017 school year.

    Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines: Web-based Training


    TEA is pleased to share a new resource for early childhood staff across Texas – online

    professional development on the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines (updated 2015). The new

    Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines trainings are available for free on the ​CLI Engage​ platform.

    The new Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines (PKG) trainings provide a total of 23 CPE hours

    through the 11 courses, an introduction and one course per PKG domain. Each course explores

    the specific end-of-year outcomes for children and instructional strategies to support skill

    development in each domain. The child outcomes and specific instructional strategies are

    explored through extensive video filmed in real Texas prekindergarten classrooms. Each course

    also provides links to classroom activities to support child skill development in each subdomain,

    as well as a facilitation guide to support delivery of course content.

    Creation of the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines trainings was a collaborative effort between

    the Texas Education Agency and the Children’s Learning Institute at UTHealth. Visit ​CLI

    Engage​ to learn more about the trainings, view video introductions to each course, and to create a

    free account for full access to the trainings.

    Texas Infant, Toddler, and Three-Year-Old Early Learning Guidelines

    The Texas Early Learning Council presents the new, voluntary infant, Toddler, and

    Three-Year-Old Early Learning Guidelines:

    ● ​Infant, Toddler, and Three-Year-Old Early Guidelines​ (PDF, 3.64MB) (outside source)
    ● ​Additional information on the Infant, Toddler, and Three-Year-Old Early Learning

    Guidelines​ (outside source)

    Early Childhood Outcomes & Prekindergarten Guidelines Alignment

    The agency commissioned a companion document to the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines

    known as the ​Early Childhood Outcomes and Prekindergarten Guidelines Alignment​ (PDF,

    3.37MB). This document is designed to align each Prekindergarten Guideline to one or more of

    the three Early Childhood Outcomes, and provide educators and families with discussion

    prompts to explain how each outcome relates to the Guideline. This document also provides

    modifications and adaptations for children with special needs.

    Subchapter E, Child/Caregiver Ratios and Group Sizes Division 1, Ratios and Group Sizes at the

    Child-Care Center §746.1501. What is child/caregiver ratio? Subchapter E, Child/Caregiver

    Ratios and Group Sizes Division 1, Ratios and Group Sizes at the Child-Care Center September

    2003 No Weight (a) The child/caregiver ratio is the maximum number of children one caregiver

    can be responsible for. Medium-High (b) Each child must have a caregiver who is responsible

    for the child and who is aware of details of the child’s habits, interests, and any special problems.

    §746.1503. What is considered a group? Subchapter E, Child/Caregiver Ratios and Group Sizes

    Division 1, Ratios and Group Sizes at the Child-Care Center September 2003 No Weight A

    group of children is defined by the number of children assigned to a specific caregiver or group

    of caregivers, occupying an individual classroom or well-defined physical space within a larger

    room. Each child in any group has two things in common with every other child in his group: the

    same caregiver(s) responsible for the child’s basic needs and the same classroom or activity

    space. Generally, the group stays with the assigned caregiver(s) throughout the day and may
    move to different areas throughout the child-care center, indoors and out. The group may not mix

    freely with other children, unless specific criteria are met as specified in this subchapter. The

    number of children who may be in a group varies according to the age of the children and the

    number of caregivers as specified in this subchapter. §746.1505. May I place more than one

    group of children in a large room? Subchapter E, Child/Caregiver Ratios and Group Sizes

    Division 1, Ratios and Group Sizes at the Child-Care Center September 2003 Yes. More than

    one group of children may occupy a room, provided the following conditions are met: Medium

    (1) The room is divided so that groups are separated. For example, a group of 25 children and

    another group of ten children may be cared for in the same room if the placement of shelves,

    accordion doors, or low movable walls divide the area so that children in one group do not freely

    mix with children in another group; Medium (2) Groups may move from one activity area to

    another within the room during the day, but individual children may not freely mingle between

    groups; and Medium (3) The total number of children must not routinely exceed the room

    capacity based on activity space.
