What are your hours?

We are open between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The school day is from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, with Before Care from 7:00-8:30 am and Extended Day from 3:30-4:30 pm or Extended Day Plus from 3:30-6:00 pm.

During the summer, our Extended Day hours are slightly reduced - Before Care begins at 7:30 am, and Extended Day Plus ends at 5:30 pm.

How much does it cost?

The cost varies by program level. Our Tuition and Fee Schedule is available online.

Do you accept TEFA funds (vouchers)?

We will accept Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) funds for the 2026-27 school year. Please visit the official TEFA website to apply for the program. A helpful Family Checklist provides information about the documents needed to apply and other details to guide families through the process.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. Tuition can be paid in-full or on a monthly basis. If parents choose to pay on a monthly basis, parents are required to purchase  tuition insurance, which is 2.6% of the annual tuition, paid one time each year with each new contract, and is due with your first tuition payment in May.

Do I have to sign a contract?

Yes. Our enrollment contracts begin in August and end in May, with an option to enroll in five, 2-week summer sessions. If you are admitted after the beginning of a school year, your tuition is pro-rated based on when you enroll.

Do you offer 2- or 3-day options?

Children thrive with consistency! That's why we only offer programs 5-days per week. Consistent routines empower children to feel confident and in control of their daily experiences.

What are your classroom ratios?

Our ratios vary by program:

  • Infant – 1:4 (2 teachers for 8 students)
  • Toddler – 1:8 (2 teachers for 16 students)
  • Early Childhood – 1:12 (2 teachers to 24 students)
  • Elementary – 1:18 (1 teacher for up to 18 students)

While these are the minimum ratios, we have an additional teacher available for each of the Infant, Toddler, and Early Childhood classrooms throughout the day. Elementary students also participate in Enrichment classes with Enrichment Specialist teachers.

Do you require immunizations?

To protect the health of all children and to satisfy state regulations, current medical information for each child is required prior to enrollment. These records, which must meet  state immunization and  hearing and vision screening requirements, need to be updated when new screenings or immunizations are given. An annual physical is required for children in the Infant, Toddler and Early Childhood programs.

The state of Texas allows certain  immunization exemptions and we follow all state guidelines.

How do you communicate with parents?

Several forms of communication are used to meet the needs of our community. These include email, texting, phone calls, written documentation, parent/teacher conferences, a parent portal on our website, a closed Facebook group, and Bloomz, a photo/video sharing app so parents can catch glimpses of the work their children are completing.

We produce a weekly e-newsletter to keep parents informed about school-wide activities and events which is available via email, text, our closed Facebook group, the parent portal, and through Bloomz.

For infants, in additional to daily, in-person communication, teachers record when diapers were changed, meals/snacks were eaten, and naps were taken in the Bloomz app.

Injuries will be promptly treated by a staff member and parents will be notified either by telephone or through a copy of a completed Accident/Incident Report form. Parents will receive a short report which documents how, when, and where and accident or incident occurred.

What is the transition like after graduation?

Students are prepared to succeed wherever they go for middle school. The elementary program provides opportunities for students to practice time management, collaboration, and problem-solving skills on a daily basis, enabling them to adapt to their new schools, whether private, public, or parochial.
