A Flexible Schedule to Suit Your Needs Kids Garden Houston, TX
We understand that families need flexibility. Not every child needs full-time daycare, and not every schedule fits a traditional preschool model. That’s why Kids Garden offers part-time options that let you choose a schedule that works for you.
Our drop-in care, hourly packages, and half-day preschool programs allow parents to balance work, errands, and quality time with their children. Whether you need childcare a few days a week or just a few hours at a time, our pay-as-you-go model makes it easy to adapt to your changing needs.
Montessori Approach in a Part-Time Setting
Even in a part-time setting, children at Kids Garden experience the same nurturing environment and hands-on learning opportunities as they do in the full-time program. We incorporate the Montessori method to encourage children to explore their interests, develop independence, and discover the joy of learning at their own pace.
By integrating these principles into a part-time schedule, children benefit from a high-quality early education experience without a full-time commitment.
