Mission

Little Apostles Nursery School's mission is to offer a Christian environment that fosters a positive self-concept and encourages each child to observe, reason and experiment with the world around them.  We approach this mission by providing opportunities to develop social skills, creative expression, language enrichment, physical development, independence skills, and respect of diversity.

Family

We encourage caregivers to take an active interest in their child's school experience.  There are various opportunities for you to participate:  room guardians, fundraisers, a school-wide Feast and Seder Meal, Spring Ice Cream Social and Art Show, and other special events.  All volunteers working directly with our children must complete the training session, "keeping Children, Youth, and Vulnerable Adults Safe," which includes a background check as required by the Diocese of Fort Worth.

• Developmentally appropriate activities that adhere to NAEYC guidelines.
• Interactive activities that help children develop a love for learning while they are growing, playing and having fun.
• Flexible programming to accommodate varied learning styles.
