The terminology we use when referring to early childhood education is significant, which is why we are cautious to use the word "preschool." Our program holds NAEYC Accreditation and Texas Rising Star Certification, qualifying us as a "high quality early childhood program." The Huffington Post (2017) argues that the term "daycare" oversimplifies the intricate nature of providing excellent care for young children. It implies a scenario where large groups of children are gathered in an uninteresting environment with caretakers merely supervising them. However, children typically spend a significant amount of time in childcare programs, often as much as 40-50 hours a week, and the activities offered there significantly shape their developing brains. Furthermore, child care centers can provide learning opportunities for families beyond the program's hours, such as parent education and guidance. At our program, we prioritize nurturing each child's unique needs, emotions, and thought processes, taking into account their individual ability to learn. We understand that the first five years are crucial for brain development, and our choice of words when describing our program and personnel acknowledges this responsibility we bear in caring for the children entrusted to us during this critical period.

The Weekday Program has been accredited by the NAEYC since the 1990s. and currently, only 2.5% of preschools or childcare centers in Texas hold this accreditation. We recently renewed our accreditation in 2022, ensuring that we maintain the standards required by the most exceptional preschools in the United States. You can trust that our program meets the highest level of quality and excellence.

Begin by selecting your desired class schedule for the 9-2 program. Infants and Ones have the option of choosing one to five days per week, while Twos, Threes, and Fours can choose between attending on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, or all five days. Additionally, you can choose to add the early morning extended care program, which runs from 7-9 A.M., as well as the afternoon extended care program, which runs from 2-6:30 P.M.

Our program is staffed with experienced teachers and administrators, many of whom have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education. With this level of experience, we are well-equipped to handle any behavioral challenges that arise and bring a wealth of knowledge to finding solutions. Our teachers are committed to staying current with the latest early childhood practices, seeking out 30 hours of continuing education every year. Furthermore, our teachers hold various degrees, including CDAs, Bachelor's degrees, and even Master's degrees. We also offer scholarships to support our new teachers in pursuing formal education.

Our outdoor learning environments include a fully equipped outdoor classroom as our fourth outdoor space. This beautiful area boasts a reading corner, art easel and tables, elevated hills, walking paths, a stage for dramatic play, a loose parts building area, a rock digging area, and a sandbox. Our program places a high value on integrating the natural world into our teaching methods, and each class receives over two hours per week to explore and engage with their surroundings.
