When you choose a preschool, you are really choosing how your child will spend most of their waking hours. It helps to picture the day before you enroll. At The Blue Elephant Learning Center in Frisco, our mission is simple: make every day your child’s best day. Here is what a day looks like for the children in our care.
Every family’s schedule is different, so we offer part-time and full-time care, beginning as early as 7:00 am and running until 6:00 pm. Your child arrives to a familiar teacher, a friendly hello, and a classroom that already feels like theirs.
Mornings can be emotional for little ones, and that is okay. Our teachers get to know each child personally, so they know who needs a quick hug, who wants to jump straight into building blocks, and who needs a few extra minutes to settle. We view our school as a family, and a warm welcome sets the tone for everything that follows.
Every classroom blends self-directed learning with teacher-led activities. Our curriculum draws on Frog Street and Handwriting Without Tears and meets and exceeds the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines. Because the curriculum is age-appropriate, learning looks different at each stage:
Our on-site cook has been with The Blue Elephant for more than ten years and serves nutritious, kid-approved meals. Families are also welcome to send meals from home, and we are happy to warm them up.
Young children need to move. Our campus has three spacious playgrounds so each age group has a space that fits them. Outdoor play gives children a chance to burn energy, build physical skills, and practice getting along with friends.
For our youngest children, the day follows the baby’s own rhythm. Teachers work closely with parents on feeding schedules and nap times so care at school stays consistent with care at home.
We believe in positive reinforcement. Each day, our teachers take time to celebrate every child’s accomplishments and uniqueness through praise and encouragement. This builds confidence and a love of learning.
You should not have to wonder how your child’s day went. We post daily pictures for you to see and send home art projects that are meant to be treasured.
For families with school-age children, our buses travel to all Frisco ISD elementary schools and pick up from select schools in Prosper and Little Elm ISD. The buses are staffed by early childhood educators, so children are supervised from school pickup to our learning center.
