Philosophy
At Cornerstone Childcare, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and inspired. Our program blends a play‑based approach with a strong, age‑appropriate curriculum to foster curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
As a Texas Rising Star center, we uphold the highest quality standards in early childhood education, ensuring our classrooms meet and exceed state benchmarks for safety, teacher qualifications, and learning environments. Our Pre‑K Today program offers a curriculum‑based preschool experience with quarterly assessments, lower teacher‑to‑child ratios, and individualized attention to prepare children for kindergarten success.
We focus on the whole child — supporting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth — while encouraging creativity, problem‑solving, and collaboration. Every activity, from circle time to outdoor play, is designed to spark imagination and build skills for school and life.
Our values are rooted in respect, kindness, and community. We partner closely with parents, keeping communication open and celebrating each milestone together. At Cornerstone, every child is seen, valued, and encouraged to shine.
