Yes. We have an open-door policy, and parents are welcome to drop in as long as it isn't disruptive to the learning environment. Visits during nap/rest time from 11:30-2:00 are not allowed. Additionally, visits may be discouraged if it causes undue stress on a child.

Yes. Family input is greatly encouraged. We love to learn about other cultures, hobbies, and job experiences. If a parent volunteers on a regular basis, we must have a cleared background check on file.

Currently, the Killeen location is accredited through National Association of Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and a four-star facility with Texas Rising Star. These accreditations are not transferable, and each location must receive their own. There is a process to receiving these and our Florence location will begin the process as soon as the center opens. It is an honor to receive these titles and is only achieved through excellence and exceptional care.

Education Connection will provide a breakfast and afternoon snack. Breakfast will be served from 8:00a-8:30a. Any child arriving later than 8:30 must have already eaten. Food brought in to eat for breakfast is not allowed. Lunch is to be provided by parents. We suggest warming food and placing it in a thermos to stay warm for lunch. Cold packs are perfect for keeping meals cold. Currently we are working to receive assistance from the food program to be able to work with Florence ISD to have meals prepared and served. This is also a process that we will begin as soon as we open. 

Tuition is due the Friday before the next week of care and is due by ACH (bank draft). Cash or money orders are also accepted. 

Tuition will be based on teacher-to-child ratios, and we’re committed to paying our staff fair, sustainable wages to ensure the best care and education for your children. Our tuition prices can be found here!

Once we receive our license through the state, we’ll enroll with Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area, allowing eligible families to receive child care tuition assistance. They currently have a waitlist, so we recommend starting the process early to minimize delays later. You can begin the application here.
