Our Preschool Program

Our Preschool Program is designed to offer a rich variety of activities in a structured environment. The Preschool Program transitions children from toddler to preschool in an educational environment that promotes independence in self-help skills, problem solving skills, self control, responsible and respectful behavior, and introduction to math readiness, basic science, beginning writing skills, language development and social skills. Preschoolers participate in creative art projects, cooking projects and science projects. Preschoolers are also introduced to our computer lab where they practice basic computer skills such as typing, and play educational CD ROM games. The purpose of our Preschool Program is to prepare children who will soon be entering Pre-K or Kindergarten and provide a comprehensive learning center approach that challenges children and supports all areas of development. At Texas Learning Center, we want our preschoolers to have an advanced transition into Kindergarten and enter with confidence and the necessary basic skills. Our teacher’s help satisfy children’s interest by getting to know their strengths and inclinations, and providing age appropriate activities to help them build their skills and knowledge.
