In our infant and toddler rooms, we generally have a teacher with an assistant teacher and between five and eight children. Our preschool classes will also generally have a lead and an assistant teacher (although frequently we have two teachers who co-lead) and between 10 and 20 children. These ratios change based on time of year. We always abide by state regulations as it pertains to teacher/student ratios.

Absolutely, yes, you may visit your child at any time. We ask to avoid coming during nap times if possible to keep disruption of the other children to a minimum, but you do not need to call ahead to visit your child.


The goal of discipline is to help children to develop self-control; therefore, it is necessary for children to understand rules, the reasons for them, and the consequences of their own actions. Preventing problems is essential to good discipline. The following techniques are used to establish discipline at My Place Early Learning Center:

• Distracting children from potential problems

• Reminding children of the rules

• Helping children to solve problems and to make choices

• Allowing children to take time away from the group to regain control

• Ignoring inappropriate behavior

• Noticing and reinforcing appropriate behavior

• Helping children to articulate their feelings

• Helping children to understand the consequences of their actions

We do not use abusive, neglectful, corporal, humiliating or frightening punishment under any circumstances. Children are not physically restrained in any manner, unless it is necessary to protect the health and safety of the child or others. We may remove a child from a situation and redirect them to more appropriate behavior; however, we do not practice “time out” as we believe isolation of a child is inappropriate and harsh at any time. Parents are provided with updates regarding behavior if necessary.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide services to children with any of the following symptoms: temperature of 101 or higher, conjunctivitis (pink-eye), strep throat, head lice, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes of unknown origin, or the presence of a contagious disease. Temp of 100.4 

A child will be sent home if any of the above symptoms are seen during the day. It is expected that if a child leaves My Place after 12:00 noon, he/she will remain home the full next day to assure complete recovery. Our primary concern has to be the wellness of the other children in our care and our staff.

In consideration of the needs of our working families, we take great efforts to remain open under almost all situations. We typically follow the decisions of KISD regarding school closure with some exceptions.


Yes, we are licensed by the State of Texas.

We are not

The staff at My Place are not authorized to administer non-authorized medication to the children. If a child requires medication such as antibiotics, provided the parent has signed a medical release form with instructions, the care givers will provide medication to the child (not to exceed the recommended dosage requirements). We always recommend when possible to request twice-a-day medication from the child’s physician that can be taken before and after school.

At all times every school is staffed with persons trained in the administration of EPI pens and will do so if one has been provided by the parents of the child in the event of an emergency. Likewise, we will administer Benadryl as long as it is part of an emergency plan. Finally, we will administer inhalers and nebulizers with physician authorization.

Babies and young toddlers nap each day according to their own schedules. Older toddlers and preschoolers take naps during the early afternoon, generally around 12:30pm - 2:30pm. 


Yes, unless there is precipitation or it is bitter cold or weather that is unsafe. In these circumstances, we utilize the indoor playground.

We believe that our turnover is significantly below the industry average. We attempt to provide our staff with the highest pay levels and benefits that can be found in the private sector. Almost all of our Lead Teachers have been with us for more than three years, and most have been with us for much, much longer than that!


Yes! We generally begin toilet training children while they are in the 2B class (older toddlers). The teacher and the child’s parents will decide when the child is ready to be toilet trained. When the child shows an interest and is not afraid to sit on the toilet, we invite the child to use the toilet. When a child begins the process of toilet training we require that the child stays in his/her diaper and uses the bathroom during the scheduled diapering time. When the child starts to have success on the toilet, we will encourage parents to put their child in training pants at home. Once the child begins having success at home, we invite the child to wear training pants to school.
