The Only 4-Star School In The Entire Zip Code

The Only 4-Star School In The Zip Code

Texas Rising Star Schools must prove they are in a better position to contribute to your child’s early education. Parent engagement, Director and teacher qualifications, and educational excellence have earned us the highest Texas Rising Star level rating possible.

Texas School Ready™ Teachers Are A Cut Above

Teachers enrolled in TSR have a resource for tools that help them define each child’s specific needs in their classroom. They can then tailor playful lessons to cultivate strengths and address any weaknesses for your child.

A Blend Of Curriculums Prepare Your Child For Excellence

Conscious Discipline©️, Frog Street©️, Footsteps2Brilliance®️, and Prelude 2 Music come together to help your child hit important academic milestones and prepare for a successful classroom journey. They conquer various subject areas and early learning disciplines through daily practice.

How Texas School Ready™Teachers Positively Impact Your Child:

Teachers use assessments to evaluate your child’s individual needs, and they receive continuous training on how to best address these needs. Children are seen, heard, and valued as they dive into exciting, personalized early learning experiences.
Teachers focus on the “building blocks” of early language development that directly impact pre-reading and pre-writing. Early literacy strategies and instruction mean your child will:
  • Improve the quality of their book reading
  • Make group conversation more frequently
  • Get more verbal instruction to build their skills
Preparation of lessons, materials, and your child’s environment is what makes the crucial difference in your child’s natural ability to take the next step in their learning. That’s why extra attention goes into class and lesson planning, and teachers get additional training for this preparation.

50+ Yrs Combined Expertise Shape Your Child’s Learning

Dedicated teachers have 5 yrs to 16 years of experience; they’ll help with sleep at the baby stage, toddler nutrition, and yes, toilet-training too! Teachers are your partners through all the steps and milestones that make this precious time so special.

Your Child Gains Life Skills And Classroom Basics

Beyond the ABCs and 123s, children learn to manage their feelings, follow instructions, and engage in polite, pleasant social interactions. Life skills such as taking responsibility for themselves and their belongings are a part of your child’s learning journey!

Super Clean Spaces Keep Your Child Healthy And Safe

An on-site housekeeper and overnight cleaning staff leave no corner unwiped, unpolished, nor unmopped. The center is deep-cleaned every day, and extra precautions are taken to sanitize high traffic areas like doorknobs and countertops so that your child’s surroundings sparkle.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

"I would recommend this school/daycare to any and everyone"

My daughter has been in attending this daycare/ school for a little over a month now and it was the best decision we could had made as parents. This is her first time in daycare at 2 years old and C2C has helped my child in so many ways possible. I would recommend this school/daycare to any and everyone. These are not your typical “daycare teachers” they are trained and professional and they actually offer a lot of teaching to me as a first time mom. Thank you so much C2C.

"My kids are very happy here"

This is the best place for my children to be when they are not in my care. The staff is very family oriented and takes the time to bond with each child, while building relationships and really getting to know the kids on a personal level, understanding their individual needs. I am very happy with the service here, their communication is impeccable, they are on top of it! They also accept feedback and take immediate action if necessary. My kids are very happy here and the development they have shown is just great.

"I’m forever grateful for Cradles 2 Crayons!"

I absolutely love Cradles 2 Crayons. From day 1 Ms. Davis and Ms. Sophia have been really helpful and understanding. My daughter started Cradles2Crayons at the age of 4. After being home everyday, the transition was a little tough in the beginning, but with much patience, knowledge and tender loving care from the teachers and staff, I’ve seen a huge improvement in her social and academic skills! I’m forever grateful for Cradles 2 Crayons!!

"We are very lucky to have had Jomari attend Cradles2Crayons"

We are very lucky to have had Jomari attend Cradles2Crayons for 3 years and Annalyse for 1 year. As stated before, I often think how fortunate we have been to have such a wonderful place for our children to attend. Nothing can be more comforting than to know our children are safe. I cannot thank the Cradles2Crayons family enough for the love and care they have provided not only for our children but for all the children they care for.

"Cradels 2 Crayons have excellent, caring, and professional staff"

As a mother you want the best for your children and choosing Cradels 2 Crayons over several other day cares in the area, was one of the best decision I choose for my daughters care and education. This will be Victoria's second year attending Cradels 2 Crayons. I am very impressed of how much she learned her first year there. Cradels 2 Crayons have excellent, caring, and professional staff. They are very attentive to your child's needs in every way. I highly recommend Cradels 2 Crayons to anyone.
