The Garden Kids - Garden Oaks Church Early Learning Center

Welcome to The Garden Kids - Garden Oaks Church Early Learning Center!

At Garden Oaks Early Learning Center, we are passionate about creating a warm and nurturing space for your little ones. Our center is designed to be a biblically-based and developmentally-stimulating environment where children can thrive and grow.

Our Mission

We believe in sparking a thirst for learning in every child. Here, we introduce them to the God who created them, helping to shape their moral integrity and encouraging a sense of joy. We celebrate their natural curiosity and wonder about the world around them, making every day an adventure!

Quality Care Over Quantity

At our Early Learning Center, we prioritize the quality of care we provide over the number of children we serve. Each member of our dedicated staff is carefully selected to ensure they have:

• A heart for serving God
• A deep love for children
• A genuine desire to see their students grow both developmentally and educationally

Our Standards of Excellence

We hold our staff to high standards, adhering to our Employee Standard of Excellence and all Texas State Minimum Standards for Child-Care Centers. Our teacher-to-child ratios are thoughtfully managed, keeping them lower than what is required by the state. Each class is supported by two full-time teachers, along with highly skilled floating teachers who step in wherever extra hands are needed.

Safety First

The safety and well-being of your children are our top priorities. All staff members, whether they work on the church side or in the Early Learning Center, undergo thorough background checks and fingerprinting. This ensures a safe and healthy environment for our students.

Well-Trained Staff

Our teachers are not only caring but also well-trained. They hold:

• Food handler licenses
• At least 60 clock hours of pre-classroom training in Early Childhood Development and Safety
