The Weekday School has a maximum of 125 children attending each day. These children are divided by age into nine classrooms. Each classroom has a lead teacher who has the primary responsibility for the education in that group. The lead teacher has an education degree or an early childhood certificate called a Child Development Associate Credential (CDA). The assistant teachers have, at the minimum, a CDA or a CDA equivalent, which is at least 12 college hours in child development/early childhood education.

We are so proud of our low class ratios. The following is a list of classes, ages of children in the class, and the class size. We not only surpass class size ratios set forth by Texas Department of Family & Protective Services, but we strive to meet the standards set by the National Association of Education of Young Children.

Our Teaching Staff

Many of the professional educators and health and fitness staff members have been at Laurel Heights for more than twenty years. All Laurel Heights Weekday School educators have appropriate credentials for teaching in an early childhood setting. This includes holding an Associate’s or Bachelor’s/Master’s degree, certifications in Early Childhood Education (ECA), and credentials as a Child Development Associate (CDA). Additionally, our teachers supplement their skills throughout the year by attending professional development classes, workshops, and seminars.
