Preschool Program
Ages 3 years - 4 years
The young preschool child is eager to pursue their autonomy.
Children in this age group are excited by their increased ability to communicate with their peers, and are deeply curious with many questions. Our teachers in our preschool program strive to provide opportunities for the preschool child to play cooperative games, explore the answers to their questions and their newfound independence, and continue to expand their language and self-help skills.

Absolutely. If your 3 year-old is not yet fully potty trained, our teachers will help with potty training by following a consistent potty training routine at school that is also followed at home.
How often do the kids play outdoors?
The classroom schedule includes two slots for outdoor play each day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, weather permitting. If the Texas weather is uncooperative, students are still able to play outside of the classroom in our indoor gym during their designated outdoor play time.
What are the behavior and discipline procedures for this age group?
Children become familiarized with our behavior chart, and learn which behaviors and actions move them towards "happy colors", and which actions move them towards "sad colors" throughout the day. Any conflicts during the school day are resolved via conversation between the teacher and students to understand the situation and plan for positive solutions and paths forward together.
