The mission of Young Learners School is early intervention. Our teachers provide a quality education for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children enrolled in freestanding Head Start programs, and licensed early childhood centers. We deliver the state of Texas pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs and prepare the children to enter public school on a level academically comparable with their peers.
Young Learners teachers work in more than 42 independent early childhood centers. The schools are located throughout Houston and are owned by various partners, such as AVANCE Head Start, Harris County Department of Education Head Start, Gulf Coast Community Services Association Head Start, and privately owned licensed early childhood centers.
Young Learners teachers work in a team teaching environment in conjunction with the early childhood center. Young Learners teachers receive field support from mentor teachers and an instructional supervisor, who act as liaisons between the teacher and the administration.
