Situated in Katy, TX, Little Builders is famous for its remarkable preschool program in Texas, catering to children ages 3–4. Our curriculum is based on the acclaimed HighScope Preschool Program, a well-researched early childhood approach. It's carefully designed to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning — emphasizing active engagement, independence, and holistic social, emotional, and cognitive development.
The HighScope approach centers on active learning — children learn best when they are actively involved in their own learning experiences. Preschoolers are encouraged to make choices, plan activities, and take part in hands-on, exploratory learning.
HighScope identifies key experiences essential for growth: initiative, social relations, movement and music, classification, seriation, number, spatial relationships, and temporal relationships. Teachers create daily opportunities for children to engage with them.
A predictable daily routine provides structure and consistency, including planning time, small group activities, outdoor play, and reflection time — helping children feel secure and confident.
Children actively participate in the Plan-Do-Review process. They plan an activity, carry it out, and then reflect on their experience — building critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Teachers are trained to be responsive to children's interests and needs. They observe play, join conversations, and act as facilitators who guide and extend each child's inquiry.
Assessment is ongoing and authentic. Teachers use anecdotal records, photos, and children's work samples to document progress, then share these insights with families.
HighScope values family involvement. The program actively encourages communication and partnership through events, conferences, and regular updates on each child's progress.
Educators receive specialized training in the HighScope philosophy and best practices in early childhood education, ensuring the program is delivered with expertise and care.
The program celebrates diversity and respects every child's unique background, experiences, and abilities — creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
Little Builders is a premier childcare center in Katy, TX, specializing in children ages 3–4. Through the HighScope curriculum we foster holistic development with engaging activities that nurture lifelong learners.
