Why Us

Parker-Chase Preschool provides a healthy and safe learning environment with well-trained and educated teachers who work with a curriculum that is appropriately challenging and developmentally sound.
Our developmentally appropriate program emphasizes the different areas of a child’s development, which are physical, language, social/emotional, and cognitive. The classrooms are set up with a “hands-on” approach. The teachers have activities that fit the child’s age and level of development; with opportunities for the child to lead the play and the teacher will join in. For example, a child may show an interest in the kitchen area and the teacher will take that opportunity to talk about cooking or mealtime.
Our program includes a mixture of both self-directed and teacher-directed activities. There is a schedule that is followed each day and includes times for free play as well as more structured times for circle time or a group activity.
We provide meals that are individualized to accommodate allergies and/or family food preferences. We use the healthiest ingredients with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, home-made breads prepared with whole-grain flour and rice dishes made with brown rice.

Meals are served family style from our toddler classrooms through our school-age classroom. Teachers dine with the children—allowing ample opportunities for conversation and for teaching manners and etiquette.
A Criminal History Check has been run on every staff member through the State of Texas and through the FBI and are renewed at least every 24 months. Everyone has been fingerprinted.
Our Georgia locations require comprehensive federal fingerprint checks through the FBI, GBI, National Sex Offender Registry, Georgia DHS IONS Child Abuse Registry, and Georgia Sex Offender Registry.
