Latest News
Feliz Dia De Los Muertos! In Ms. Sofia’s Spanish class this week, the children learned all about the traditions and celebrations behind this special holiday!
Did you know that although The Child Development Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are still considered a childcare facility and subject to property taxes? This has been an ongoing battle for our school, and we are pleased to see PROPOSITION 2 on the ballot this election, the Property Tax Exemption for Child-Care Facilities Amendment.
Help families, preschools, children, and teachers by voting for Texas Prop 2! Early voting is now until November 3rd, and election day is November 7th. By reducing property taxes, we could minimize tuition increases for parents, increase teacher pay, and reinvest the savings into high-quality education and programming. Cast your vote!
Thank you @bowiestudentleadership for the special visit today! The kids loved meeting you and listening to the story about kindness.
