Toddlers explore everything with boundless energy. At Oak Leaf Kids Academy we encourage their sense of discovery with the Applebaum Learning curriculum while building vocabulary, encouraging imagination, and personalizing learning for the individual needs of each child.
This highly acclaimed curriculum provides age-appropriate, hands-on activities that address the needs of the whole child: intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. Essential to a quality child care program is the individual needs of a child. By providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment we strive to meet those needs during this important time of development. Our teachers are not only experienced in child care and receive ongoing training, but have caring, nurturing hearts with a special love for children.
Large motor skills are developed with our custom designed playground featuring an assortment of slides, swings, and outdoor toys just the right size.
Special programs, entertainment, and movies are available in our theater/auditorium.

Texas School Ready is a comprehensive preschool teacher training program that combines a research-based, state-adopted curriculum with ongoing professional development and progress monitoring tools. Teachers from child care centers, Head Start programs, and public school pre-kindergarten participate in TSR. Throughout the school year, teachers enrolled in TSR are provided tools to help them learn more about the specific instructional needs of the children in their classrooms and how to support children using engaging lessons and activities. The new skills and techniques that teachers learn through TSR positively affect the classroom experience for children.
What Sets TSR Apart?
Texas School Ready is a comprehensive, research-based professional development program for early education teachers that ensure at-risk children receive targeted instruction in critical school readiness skills. Thousands of pre-K centers in Texas have implemented the program since 2003. As TSR has grown, researchers at the Children’s Learning Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center have been collecting incredible amounts of data to track changes in teachers’ instructional practices and advancements in their students’ school readiness skills. The results of this research speak to the innovation and effectiveness of TSR.
