About Candyland Aldine

Candyland Aldine is a center-based early care and education provider for the students, parents and families of Houston. As a center, Candyland Aldine provides that strong environment of structure and stability for students to learn and the enrichment resources and opportunities to ensure that every student can find something to set their imaginations on fire. Centers like Candyland Aldine are popular choices for parents that don’t want to compromise on education but also want to enjoy the community that comes with strong peers sets and experienced staff. Parents in the Houston area can by the same token find a great fit with the part-time schedule at Candyland Aldine. Part-time gives children the opportunity to learn in a structured environment, out of the family home, with their peers and non-family adults, all the while parents can get things done. Part-time gives that flexibility, though, that families can crave when adjusting little ones to life outside the home, as parents don’t have to spend full days away from their young children. In addition, Candyland Aldine teaches a mixed-age curriculum that facilities peer learning and communal growth. In a mixed-age classroom like at Candyland Aldine, students receive open-ended, stimulating activities and are encouraged to move at their own pace. Younger students receive help and encouragement from older students, boosting their confidence and self-esteem, and older students get to lend a helping hand, teaching empathy and the joy of giving. Mixed-age learning replicates the best of a family or neighborhood group structure as children socialize with peers a little ahead or a little behind their own development path.
