PRESCHOOL ENRICHMENT CLASSES
The Early Childhood Program is officially open and enrolling for fall! From six weeks old to Pre-K, we have a spot for your child(ren). The goal of ECP is to develop competent, happy, curious children. Teachers do this each day by offering a variety of activities to stimulate children physically, intellectually and emotionally. The school provides opportunities that encourage the development of children’s self-esteem and self-control with the use of positive guidance, an appreciation of cultural diversity, and respect for each child’s individuality.
We provide year-round activities and enrichment for children enrolled in our Early Childhood Program from three months through age 5 (including Kindergarten). Our curriculum includes reading, math, science, movement and Spanish. Our ECP is licensed by the State of Texas.
