Finding a place where your child can remain safe, healthy and happy while you are at work can be something of a challenge, especially since there are so many fraudulent day care programs in the world. Not only do you want to find a day care center where your child is in the hands of experienced professionals, but you also want your child to enjoy the experience. With that in mind, following are some of the best day care centers in Houston, TX.
The Toddler House
16610 Charterstone
Houston, TX 77070
(281) 276-9955
Not only is The Toddler House a day care center, but it is also an educational atmosphere where your child can enjoy the pleasures of learning and playing, all at the same time. The school is large with big classrooms and a safe but enjoyable outside play area. They are dedicated to your child’s emotional, social and educational development while still providing all of the services of a day care. Older children put on school plays and take field trips, just like they would in regular school, and the younger ones are taken care of by certified teachers and teaching assistants.
Stay and Play Day Care
1206 Aldine Bender
Houston, TX 77032(281) 449-2973
If you have children in wide-ranging age groups, the Stay and Play day care program might be worth considering. They cater to children from infancy to age fourteen, and they have age-appropriate programs for each group. Not only that, but they also can help parents who work on the weekends and at night as they are open twenty-four hours a day, Monday-Sunday. They are members of the Texas Licensed Child Care Association and the National Child Care Association, and they have top-of-the-line security systems for overnight guests.
Creative Care
1639 Blalock
Houston, TX 77080(713) 464-2744
Open for more than thirty years, Creative Care is a popular day care center for the children of teachers, doctors and other professionals who live in the Blalock area. They also have a summer camp program as well as Mother’s Day Out. One of the reasons why Creative Care is so reputable is their implementation of Montessori curriculum, which is still one of the most reputable teaching programs in the country. Most of their staff is made up of retired teachers who can help older children with their homework after school and who can successfully educate younger children before they enter pre-school or kindergarten.
My nieces both go to Ragsdill School, and they are constantly talking about all of the activities they experience there. Ragsdill is more of an activities center than a day care, though their staff is completely qualified and most of their activities involve learning and educational aspects, as well. It’s slightly more expensive than most other day care centers, but my sister insists that it’s worth every penny. They focus on learning and creativity in the form of interaction with different age groups and their approach is completely “hands-on”, which thrills the children in their program.
