About Kipp Zenith Academy

Kipp Zenith Academy is a center-based child care and early education facility serving the students and families of Houston! As a center, Kipp Zenith Academy provides a school-like learning and enrichment environment that gives students a taste of what they’ll experience at more formal school in the years to come. Students at Kipp Zenith Academy are provided the socialization opportunities that come with peers of similar ages, the enrichment opportunities that come with a center’s resources and structure, and the community that comes with experienced staff. With a full-time schedule, as well, Kipp Zenith Academy allows parents to work and assume other responsibilities while their children are playing and learning amongst their peers. Children have the opportunity to get used to the natural rhythms of a daily structured learning environment with a full-time schedule, which can help smooth the transition into kindergarten and future education. The full-time schedule allows plenty of opportunities for creativity and fun, too, as the day always feels too short when you’re having fun! Kipp Zenith Academy also takes a play-based approach to facilitating the learning and development of students. A play-based educational approach emphasizes theme-based, hands-on activities that get students involved, often in the areas of learning that they’re particularly interested in at the time. Play-based schools like Kipp Zenith Academy focus on the process of learning and the social, emotional skills built along the way and often break their physical settings up to encourage and facilitate different play in different areas.
