FAITH-BASED CURRICULUM
Our mission is to teach children about the character of God, how He cares for them, and how He asks us to live and display His light.
We believe the Bible is the authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is only one true God. God is eternal and existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe we have all sinned and need Jesus for eternal life.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, as our helper to live a life pleasing to God.
We believe God invites all people, young and old, to know him and have a personal relationship with Him.
What is Spanish Immersion?
Our Spanish Immersion program integrates Spanish into the everyday curriculum. No prior exposure to Spanish is necessary. It is designed for English-speaking and Spanish-speaking students to develop communication and literacy skills in both languages. The earlier children are introduced to a language, the greater the likelihood they will become truly proficient in it. Children’s brains are naturally programmed to learn any language they are sufficiently exposed to perfectly and without accents. According to research, this ability declines with age, disappearing by high school. Determining exactly how the program should be structured depends, in part, upon the percentage of students from each language group. Schools with half Spanish speakers and half English speakers can implement two-way immersion. If the student body is predominantly English-speaking, one-way immersion is the best model.
Our Program Goals
Enrich Your Child’s Life At Evergreen
Enrichment is a term often spoken about in educational facilities but rarely practiced. At Evergreen, we don’t just see ourselves as early childhood teachers but also as individuals responsible for shaping and growing a child in all areas. Our primary goal is to nourish, enrich, cultivate and strengthen the potential of our students. To provide an educational experience that is unique and individually focused. As we often say, it’s the children who teach us more than we can hope to teach them.
Our Goals As A Learning Center:
To provide caring and flexible learning centers to families throughout Texas
To foster open dialogue between our staff, children and parents
To promote self-esteem, growth, independence, and individuality in all children
To encourage creativity in a safe and nurturing environment
Our Goals For Children:
To foster a positive identity based on self-understanding, compassion, and tolerance
To promote social and emotional well-being
To encourage literacy and language development
To encourage physical development and coordination
To encourage positive creative expression
To encourage children to think, reason, question, and experiment in a creative and supporting atmosphere
Our Classroom Organization
Our classrooms are Montessori-inspired. Our classrooms encourage collaboration and not competition. Children work at their own level, so the focus is on their own improvement instead of trying to keep up with other classmates. We believe that we learn best through hands-on learning. Our classrooms are organized in five key areas of learning: practical life, language, sensory, mathematics, and culture.
Our Nurturing Schedules
Teachers need to provide a delicate balance between structure, freedom, and security. The general schedule that our teachers follow helps monitor, guide, and create insight. Flexibility allows for child-led ideas and initiatives to cater specifically to their developmental needs.
