First Class Child Development Center, located in Houston is dedicated to the education of children above all else. First Class Child Development Center is not a day care facility, although care for children is available from 6:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. It is not a mother’s day out program, although children may participate on a part time basis. First Class utilizes a hands-on curriculum that offers all children a learning environment that gifted and talented children might experience. By doing so, the goal is to provide children with problem solving skills and to help each child to reach his/her fullest potential. However, cognitive development is not emphasized to the exclusion of other areas of development. With low student to staff ratios, professional faculty, and developmentally appropriate materials and equipment, First Class Child Development Center strives to nurture the whole child including physical, social and emotional growth, in addition to cognitive development, all of which are integral parts of our program. At First Class Child Development Center, we believe young children need a warm, nurturing environment that fosters self-esteem, encourages curiosity and provides a wide variety of positive experiences to set the stage for a lifetime of creative living and learning. Children who work at tasks that they think are valuable, feel good about themselves. This positive self-image empowers them to try more and more complex tasks. We support the following beliefs: •The process is more important than the product •The creativity of each child must be encouraged •All activities are opportunities to help children develop responsibility We want both parents and children to feel relaxed in our environment and feel comfortable to communicate openly and freely with staff. You will be given many opportunities to become actively involved in our program. We want you to leave the school each morning feeling secure and confident with your selection of our school.
