Each class is centered around your child's growth and educational needs. We strive to ensure your child is meeting necessary milestones by maintaining an educational, yet entertaining, atmosphere. Our teachers provide a nurturing environment in order to help your child succeed and thrive.
Infants
Our infant class is perfect for your newborn’s safety and developmental growth. We aspire to take excellent care of our smallest students by paying close attention to their individualized needs and having open and constant parent-teacher communication. Our specialized team of infant teachers are certified in infant safety, amazing at stimulating developmental growth within the classroom and believe that no student is too young to start learning about the world around them. From 6 weeks old until graduating to our toddler class at 18 months old, we endeavor to provide our infants with a knowledge of how much God loves them and equip them with the foundations they need to begin our curriculum in our Toddler class.
Toddlers
Our toddlers class is specifically designed to encourage learning through educational play. We begin our ABEKA Curriculum with our Toddlers which works specifically on introducing students to colors, numbers, shapes, letters and much more! From 18 months to 2.5 years our specialized Toddler Team is determined to assist your child in growing in their knowledge of God while stimulating them through hands-on education through centers, recreation, music, and art.

Our Facility
Garden Oaks Early Learning Center is a ministry of Garden Oaks Baptist Church and is located within the church's facility. We are an all-day Child Care Center with classrooms for every 6 months of development. We currently service infants through pre-kindergarten students. We are open daily from 7am until 6pm, Monday through Friday. We value the quality of care that we give over quantity of attendance in our Early Learning Center. We carefully vet each of our staff members to ensure they have a heart for serving God, a deep love for children, and a desire to see their students grow developmentally and educationally. Each staff member is held to our Employee Standard of Excellence and joyfully adheres to all Texas State Minimum Standards for Child-Care Centers. Our teacher to child ratios are carefully managed and kept lower than state minimum standards require. We staff two full time teachers for every class and have highly skilled and qualified floating teachers that rotate to where extra hands are needed. All staff that work in the facility both on the church and ELC side have been fully background checked and fingerprinted to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our students. All teachers hold a food handlers licenses, at least 60 clock hours of pre-classroom training in Early Childhood Development and Safety, as well as an up to date certification for CPR/First Aid/AED. Our purpose in holding these standards is to serve the families of our community well by providing the safest and healthiest environment for their children.
Our Curriculum
Our center utilizes the award-winning Abeka curriculum as our academic guide. Abeka’s preschool curriculum features a traditional approach to teaching and learning, cross-subject integration, spiral review, and plenty of hands-on activities. Abeka is Christian faith-based, teaching values and principles of the Christian faith while not compromising on developmentally appropriate learning. In addition to the Abkea curriculum our teachers use hands-on centers throughout their classrooms, a fun and hands-on “circle time” as well as music and art to educate.
Our contract partners, Soccer Shots and Tippi Toes Dance also offer classes once a week to our students ages two years old and up. For more information on these extra-curricular classes, please contact our front office.
