PROGRAMS
The Kid’s Corral offers nutritious, well-balanced meals and snacks
in all programs, with the exception of infants. Parents of
infants will be asked to provide their child’s formula
and/or cereal, allowing each child to continue their specified
diet. All other programs offer breakfast, morning snack,
lunch and afternoon snacks.
INFANTS
At the Kids’ Corral, the infant room provides a
nurturing and stimulating environment, while providing
loving care to each child. Our low infant to caregiver
ratio allows for the best possible environment for your
child.
At The Kid’s Corral, infants are cared for by trained
staff in a loving, clean and safe environment. In the infant
room our staff works with families and infants to follow
individual schedules, which meet the needs of each infant.
As well, our staff works with each infant to achieve developmentally
appropriate milestones in the areas of language development,
small and gross motor skills, social and emotional development,
music, movement and song.
Daily activities you experience with your child at home, such
as smiling, talking, playing and stimulating will also be
part of their day at The Kid’s Corral. This kind of
individual attention and stimulation is important for your
child’s cognitive and social-emotional growth.
In addition, we offer a developmentally appropriate outdoor
play area for our infants, allowing them fresh air and fun
exploration. Parents receive a daily report to
keep them informed of their child’s activities and advancements.
TODDLERS
In the toddler room, The Kid’s Corral staff
works with children to function on a routine daily schedule
with planned activities that promote appropriate development
in each child. The staff focuses on assisting
children in meeting developmental milestones in the areas
of language development, listening skills, physical development
and play, music and art appreciation, fine and gross motor
skills, social and emotional development as well as color
and shape recognition.
Our curriculum offers opportunities for hands-on activities
encouraging your child to explore, inquire and discover
the world around them. Teachers read aloud to students
on a daily basis. Stories promote fun, adventure and
imagination, thereby promoting literacy and a lifelong love
of learning.
Educational research has shown that early interactive reading experiences
between children and adults lead to future success in school.
The outdoor playground is developmentally appropriate
providing each child with the fun and active play necessary
for a well-rounded, positive daily experience in a clean
and safe environment.
It is our goal to provide each child with the necessary foundation
needed to learn and grow. Each parent receives a daily
report to keep them informed of their child’s activities,
discoveries and advancements.
TWO YEAR OLDS
The two-year-old room at The Kid’s Corral
uses an integrated curriculum to promote learning in a
developmentally appropriate, clean and safe environment.
Two year olds develop many new language and gross
motor skills, as well as developing their sense of independence.
Staff trained to work with this age and to promote a positive
self-image in our two year olds use a professionally
designed curriculum to ensure all areas of development are
being met. Children learn to work in a variety of individual,
and small and large cooperative group activities.
Each day teachers provide activities for the children to
explore in art, blocks and dramatic play, promoting creativity.
This is the age when interactive reading becomes even more
important. We focus on your child’s speaking,
listening and vocabulary development.
We provide opportunities for early math concept learning,
such as number recognition (1-10), matching and color/shape
recognition.
The outdoor playground is developmentally appropriate providing
each child with the fun and active play necessary for a
well-rounded, positive daily experience.

and emotional foundation before moving into the pre-school
program. Each parent receives a daily report to keep
them informed of their child’s activities, discoveries
and advancements.
THREE AND FOUR YEAR OLDS (PRE-SCHOOL)
Preschool children at The Kid’s Corral are taught
by trained staff, using a professionally designed curriculum.
The classrooms provide loving, structured learning
for all children. The curriculum prepares preschoolers
for their future educational experiences through a developmentally
appropriate approach.
Students begin to learn phonemic awareness and letter recognition,
critical reading and thinking skills and age-appropriate
math concepts. Just as in the toddler room, children in
pre-school also participate in daily interactive reading
activities, promoting literacy skills.
The curriculum promotes independence, fosters decision-making
and encourages hands-on participation through books, puzzles,
painting, cutting and more. Children explore learning
concepts in thematic based units, created to accommodate
all learning styles.
Children have opportunities to sing, dance, play, talk, create
and have fun! The outdoor playground is developmentally
appropriate providing each child with the fun and active play
necessary for a well-rounded, positive daily experience.

of their child’s activities, discoveries and advancements.
PART TIME PRE-SCHOOL
The Kid’s Corral also offers a part-time
preschool for children whose families are not seeking full
time care, but would like the opportunity to attend preschool.
This program has trained staff using the same curriculum
as our other preschool classrooms.
Children participating in this program will attend a shorter
day and will follow Denton ISD and Aubrey ISD school calendars.
We provide parents with a calendar each school year.
AFTER-SCHOOL (Ages 5-12)
The after-school program at The Kid’s Corral offers
school age children a safe, structured and educational environment.
Supervision and support is available before school as well.
Our program offers quiet homework time, with tutorials in
all areas. We also recognize the need for students to enjoy
themselves after a long day at school.
Our playground includes a basketball court, swings and age
appropriate playscape. Indoors we offer a variety of
games, puzzles, projects and cooperative group activities.
Special programs are available for these students on holidays
and summer breaks as well. During the summer break, The
Kid’s Corral offers a camp type atmosphere for
school age children.
