Programs
Our infant classrooms do not use restrictive devices such as bouncers or swings.
This stage can be seen as one of the most challenging and rewarding times. Important independence skills are being acquired during these years, including personal care such as toileting, feeding
Our Pre-K classrooms participate in the Texas School Ready program.
Even after school’s out for the day children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. The after-school program allows kindergarten and school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our early education program is designed so that everyone goes home happy. Our School Age ratios are 1 to 13 unless a child's specific needs call for additional assistance.
Respite is offered once per month. For more information, call 254-778-6785 or send an email to respite@centexchildrenscenter.com.
