Little Explorers Academy Daycare & Preschool, Spring

Our philosophy is simple. Little Explorers Academy is here to offer your children the care, comfort, fun and safety they deserve. For parents, we offer the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is in the best of hands. Each day promises an exciting new adventure, and we make sure each child experiences the joys of a truly caring environment. We also strive to be your partner. We are completely transparent in our preschool programs and curriculum, we continuously self-assess and look to improve, and we make communication with you a paramount part of the childcare environment. We follow the MONTESSORI, REGGIO EMILIA, STEAM and Abeka, which is the nation’s leading preschool and childcare curriculum. We focus on exploration through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. If you are looking for childcare in The Woodlands, Spring-Klein, Tomball, Texas or the surrounding area, you owe it to yourself to contact us. Our Academy is Always on Lock Down for the safety of Your Children. ~ Parents or Designated Person Must Sign the Child In and Out Twice for Security purposes. ~ We must release children only to a Parent or a Person Designated by the Parent in Writing. ~ If we suspect the person picking up a child is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, we may call local police and request their assistance. ~ We cannot legally prevent the child from being picked up by a parent or person designated by the parent; however, we will address this issue at enrollment by asking parents what they would like for us to do if you do not feel comfortable releasing the child to one of the parents and signing an agreement to this effect. ~ Law enforcement officers and DFPS Child Protective Services staff have the authority by law to remove a child without a parent’s permission. ~ We Always ask to see identification of persons you do not know and photo copy for the child’s file. Methods for Learning: ~ We believe that children learn by hands-on experiences through structured play and instruction using many different methods like: Montessori, Reggio Amilio, STEAM and ABEKA. ~ We believe that children need to have many experiences each day and that these experiences need to be planned around a strong curriculum plan. ~ We use well-planned learning centers and hands-on activities to stimulate learning. It is our priority to offer your child a developmentally appropriate learning environment while challenging him/her academically. ~ We feel that social competencies prime the brain for academic success. Every activity in the daycare classroom will have a purpose, should be interesting, and should be inviting to the children. ~ We recognize that the first five (5) years are the critical formative years and our efforts will focus on helping your child develop the life skills necessary to be successful in life. ~ All students participate in our Arts, Music, Spanish and Physical Education Programs. ~ Students in our three (3) year old, Preschool classes and Pre-K classes will participate in Exploring Nature, Literature Enrichment, Cooking, Gardening, and Centers activities daily. ~ Our activities are carefully planned to encourage social interaction, fine and gross motor development, proper use of the English language, and other readiness skills. Children are never forced to participate in activities, but are encouraged to try many new things. ~ We strive to nurture them through a variety of appealing experiences that allow them to make choices and to develop at their own rate. It is our desire that every child who graduates from our program will be equipped with the skills needed for success both academically and socially. ~ We guide students to be Christ-like, responsible members of the community.
