Can I tour the center before enrolling?

Yes! We love showing families around. Schedule a tour to meet our teachers, see our classrooms, and experience the MBS difference.

Do you have an open-door policy for parents?

Absolutely. Parents are welcome to stop by anytime, share lunch with their little one, or just peek in on their child’s day. We want you to feel part of your child’s journey.

Our Teachers & Curriculum

What makes your teachers special?

Our teachers are dedicated professionals. The majority hold CDA (Child Development Associate) certifications, and everyone attends monthly training sessions to stay current with best practices. Many have been with us for years, creating consistency and strong bonds with families.

What curriculum do you follow?

We nurture the mind, body, and strength (MBS!) of each child with a curriculum that blends play and structured learning — supporting early literacy, math, creativity, problem-solving, and social-emotional growth.

Do you offer progress reports?

Yes! Teachers track growth in all areas of development and share updates during Parent–Teacher Conferences and throughout the year.

How do you handle safety and security?

Your child’s safety comes first. We maintain secure entry systems, background-checked staff, and CPR/First Aid-certified teachers. Classrooms and playgrounds are designed with safety at the center.

What is your approach to guidance and discipline?

We use positive guidance techniques — encouraging problem-solving, teaching empathy, and building independence. Our goal is to help children feel confident and capable.

Meals & Nutrition

Do you provide meals and snacks?

Yes! We have a full kitchen on site and serve fresh, nutritious meals and snacks daily. We are a peanut-free facility. If your child has other dietary needs, we’ll work with you personally to make sure they’re safe and supported.

Tuition & Assistance

Do you accept workforce subsidies or tuition assistance?

Yes, we accept workforce subsidy programs and we are proud to be a Texas Rising Star (TRS) 4-certified center — the highest rating a center can achieve!

Can you work with employer reimbursements or family assistance programs?

Yes! We have experience helping families use benefits and subsidies, including VA benefits, FEEA subsidies, and other employer reimbursement programs. We’ll gladly guide you through the process.

Location & Enrollment

Where are you located?

We are conveniently located near the Greenhouse exit on I-10, making drop-off and pick-up easy for parents commuting to and from work. Our location is also ideal for families with parents working at the Greenhouse Medical Center, so your little one can be close by while you’re at work.

How do I enroll my child?

Enrollment begins with a tour, followed by completion of our application and the required forms. Spots fill quickly, so we recommend securing your child’s place early. Families love choosing MBS not just for our warm, enriching programs — but also for our convenient location, family events, and strong community feel.

Family Engagement & Communication

How do you keep families engaged?

We host fun family events all year long, such as our Fall Festival, Grandparents’ Breakfast, Thanksgiving Feast, Parent–Teacher Open House Night, and Daughter–Dad Dance. These events bring families together and create lasting memories.

How do you keep parents updated about their child’s day?

Parents receive daily reports including naps, meals, activities, and special moments. Plus, you’ll get regular updates on your child’s milestones and progress.
