Our Purpose and Philosophy

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to develop an enthusiastic attitude toward learning. It is our desire that we help each child become aware of God's love, and in so doing, help them know what a special person he or she is through that love.

Our Philosophy

Council Oak Preschool offers activities and experiences planned for the growth and development of the whole child. This includes social, emotional, physical and cognitive stages of development.

Each child is unique and at a different stage of development. Council Oak Preschool (COP) will work to assess and meet the needs of every child on an individual basis, providing the most appropriate approach for each student.

We strive to provide opportunities for each child to develop positive self-concept, be accepting of others, be curious, be expressive, feel loved, feel secure, and be full participants in God's world.

Our program is carefully planned for the needs of young children. Activities include stories, music, art, crafts, finger plays, stretch and grow, grames and other various experiences that meet the needs of children and stimulate their learning. We offer a balance between free and structured play, quiet and active times, indoor and outdoor activities, along with group and individual experiences.

Council Oak Preschool is licensed by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services and follows the minimum standards as set forth by the state of Texas at all times. All staff is certified in CPR/First Aid, Child Abuse Prevention Training, along with an additional fifteen hours of training each year.
