Your child will only have one first-school experience. It’s important to get it right.

Preschool sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning. It determines whether children love or simply tolerate school. It either honors or hinders their inner confidence. It sparks the academic, social, and emotional skills all future education builds upon.

Early childhood education is critical — and at KLA Schools preschool in Houston, education is extraordinary from the start because:

Learning begins on day one, grounded in the Reggio Emilia approach and decades of research.
Children are seen as competent, capable, natural researchers and learners.
Innovative learning spaces empower students and stimulate curiosity.
Parents are welcome participants in the success and growth of each child.
Teachers are active partners, creating unique learning experiences for every child.

When do you open?

We are excited to bring KLA Schools to Houston! Our anticipated opening is near the start of the 2025 school year, and we can’t wait to welcome families into our innovative, Reggio Emilia-inspired learning community. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to offer an education like no other!

What is the approach to education?

KLA Schools embraces the Reggio Emilia approach, a world-renowned philosophy of early childhood education that views children as capable, curious, and active participants in their learning. This innovative approach is designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.

What ages do you serve?

KLA Schools of River Oaks will offer an exceptional early childhood education experience for children from Infants through 4 years old. Rooted in the world-renowned Reggio Emilia approach, our innovative learning environment is designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence from the very start. We can't wait to welcome young learners into an education like no other!

What is the teacher to student ratio?

KLA Schools always have lower ratios than state-required ratios. Lower ratios mean your child gets:

More attention, which can have long-lasting positive effects on learning, especially during early years of education
The kind of responsiveness that will make your child feel valued, respected, and heard
Small group experiences that allow our educators align to the children’s interest and nurture them in a positive way

What is your curriculum?

Our curriculum and principles align with the universal early childhood principles that the World Forum Foundation has found to best support children’s learning and development. The World Forum Foundation  is an international early childhood education research and advocacy group that works to improve the quality of life for all children, regardless of their background. High-quality programs such as ours utilize the research and resources of the WFF as part of our professional development for teachers and to inspire others in our communities to advocate for the rights of young children.

How do I enroll my child?

We are excited to welcome your family to the KLA Schools community! To start the enrollment process, simply reach out to us for more details or submit an inquiry through our website. Our team is happy to guide you through every step of the way. Since spaces are limited and our classrooms are filling quickly, we encourage early registration to ensure your child can join us for a truly enriching educational experience.

This is community, connected.

We can’t wait to join your Houston community! At KLA Schools, we believe that when children connect their classroom experiences to their lives outside of school, they become confident learners. In our Houston daycare, students, teachers, and parents unite as a diverse community of friends, classmates, and role models.
