Frequently Asked Questions

What ages do you serve?

We welcome children ages three through third grade, all together in one mixed-age group. Younger children learn from older ones, and older children grow by leading, so the range is part of what makes the days work.

How many children are in the school?

Our community is intentionally kept small so every child is deeply known, genuinely valued, and free to learn at their own pace. Enrollment is intentionally limited to preserve the close relationships, individualized learning, and sense of belonging that make The Finding Place so special. Once our spaces are full, we start a waiting list.

What are the days and hours?

Children ages four and up come Monday through Thursday, 8:30 in the morning until 1:30 in the afternoon. Three-year-olds come Tuesday through Thursday, 8:30 until 1:30. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, families can add optional Stay & Play from 1:30 to 3:00.

What is tuition, and how is it billed?

Tuition is divided into 10 equal monthly payments. The first payment is due at enrollment and reserves your child's place for the school year. It is $390 a month for age three, $460 a month for age four, and $510 a month for kindergarten through third grade.

What does "child-led" actually mean day to day?

It means we start with the child instead of a script. We watch what a child is drawn to, we add the materials and space that fit, and we let their questions steer the learning. When a child spends twenty uninterrupted minutes watching a ladybug, we protect that instead of interrupting it.

What does "Reggio-inspired" mean here?

The Reggio Emilia approach trusts that children are capable and curious, and that they learn best when they can explore real things at their own pace. In practice that looks like hands-on materials, room to create and build, and adults who guide rather than lecture. We take our inspiration from it and shape it around our own children and our own outdoors.

How do academics and grade readiness work?

Real learning happens here, it just isn't rushed. Because children move at their own pace in a mixed-age room, they build strong foundations without being pushed or held back. Children tend to arrive at each next stage steady, confident, and still in love with learning.

Is this a Christian school?

Yes. We pray together, we begin our mornings with worship, and the love of Jesus is shared in gentle, age-appropriate ways. Families of all backgrounds are warmly welcome here.

What is the outdoor time like?

The outdoors is the heart of our day. Children have a mud kitchen, a dirt pile, a climbing wall, a tire swing, and a pirate ship, plus water play, a potion table, real tools, and an outdoor art center with painting, chalk, and a glue board.

Do you go outside in bad weather?

We go out in nearly all conditions, using good judgment for extreme Texas heat and storms. With the right clothes, a little rain or mud makes for some of our best mornings.

What should my child bring and wear?

[PACK/WEAR: water bottle, change of clothes, lunch or snack details, weather gear, closed-toe shoes, seasonal layers — confirm the real list]

How does enrollment and the waiting list work?

Enrollment is open now through the first day of school, September 7. When our spaces fill, we keep a waiting list and reach out as spots open.

How do we come see it?

The best way to understand a day here is to stand in it. Reach out and we'll set up a time for your family to visit.

We'd love to meet you and show you around.
