Curriculum

Our preschool program is uniquely tailored to meet each individual child's needs and requirements for success. Our children are actively engaged in activities that support differences in learning styles, maturity, and interests.

Current and Competitive Curriculum

Each child is different, and we address each child socially, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Assessing and evaluating each child's needs, interests, and abilities, while focusing on the whole child is developmentally appropriate. Our curriculum stimulates thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and problem solving. We remain current and competitive in our curriculum. Our curriculum is better balanced and provides more enrichment for children today than traditional preschool programs, with plenty of social play that is also important for their development.

An Ideal Environment for Preschool Learning

We provide the ideal environment to developmentally improve and enhance each child's school readiness skills and enthusiasm for learning. We create trust and credibility with our parents as a result of our high quality learning and care environment. We utilize the Early Childhood Education Curriculum Guidelines formulated by the Texas Education Agency. We also communicate with area school districts regarding their skill expectations of children entering kindergarten, and we make ongoing adjustments and improvements to our techniques to better prepare children for kindergarten.

Our curriculum is a well-balanced program for each child including group and individual experiences that are fun as well as exciting. We believe that children learn best by doing - developing the curiosity of the world they live in and to encourage learning enthusiasm by participating in:
