Building Strong Foundations for Lifelong Learners

Best Preschool & Child Care in East Texas

Learning Through Play

We use the trusted Frog Street curriculum in all classrooms—providing a strong foundation for your child’s emotional, social, and academic growth. As a Texas Rising Star provider, we also enrich learning with select materials from CLI Engage and Creative Curriculum.

Every day includes:

  • Circle Time – Building language, listening, and classroom connection.

  • Exploration Centers – Hands-on learning in reading, math, science, and art.

  • Outdoor Play – Encouraging movement, curiosity, and love of nature.

Your child will feel safe, supported, and excited to learn—because we believe the best learning happens through play.

Meeting Individual Needs

We understand that every child learns and grows at their own pace. Our low teacher-to-child ratios (1:4 for infants, 1:6 for toddlers, 1:10 for preschool) allow for individualized attention and support. Our experienced teachers, many with over 10 years of experience and some holding bachelor’s degrees or Child Development Associate (CDA) credentials, expertly tailor activities and interactions to each child’s developmental stage.

Age-Specific Programs Designed for Growth

In our nurturing Nursery program, your baby’s first year is filled with gentle play, sensory exploration, and loving care. With a low teacher-to-child ratio of 1:4, we provide the individualized attention your infant needs to thrive. From tummy time and cuddles to music and stories, we create a safe and stimulating environment that supports your baby’s earliest developmental milestones.

As your little one’s curiosity blossoms, our Infant program encourages exploration and discovery. With a 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio, we guide their first steps, crawling adventures, and early language development through interactive play, songs, and stories. We create a secure and stimulating environment that fosters independence and a love of learning.
Our Toddler program is bursting with energy and fun! With a 1:9 teacher-to-child ratio, we guide your toddler’s social, emotional, and physical development through active play, creative arts, music, and outdoor exploration. We encourage language development, problem-solving skills, and positive interactions with peers.

Our 2-year-old program builds on early foundations, introducing more complex play, problem-solving, and early literacy and math concepts. With a 1:11 teacher-to-child ratio, we foster independence, creativity, and a sense of wonder through hands-on activities and engaging interactions.

In our 3-year-old program, children continue to grow in confidence and independence. With a 1:15 teacher-to-child ratio, we provide a balance of structured activities and free play, encouraging exploration and discovery in science, math, literacy, and the arts. We focus on social-emotional skills, pre-reading and pre-math concepts, and creative expression.

Our Pre-K program sets the stage for success in kindergarten and beyond. With a 1:18 teacher-to-child ratio, we deliver a comprehensive curriculum that includes advanced pre-academic skills, literacy and math activities, science experiments, social studies, and creative arts. We also offer enriching field trips and hands-on activities that spark curiosity and build confidence.

Enrichment Beyond the Classroom

We believe in learning beyond the classroom! We offer yearly field trips to exciting destinations like the zoo, and engage in hands-on activities like gardening and cooking to spark curiosity and create lasting memories.
