child-care hours are 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our elementary school hours

and near downtown. We have been featured in Houston Chronicle on
numerous occasions for our innovative approach to high quality early
care and education for families.
In keeping with our mission to provide affordable, high quality early
care and education, Young Scholars was one of 14 schools in the city to
be awarded a S.P.A.R.K Park. Young Scholars is the first Charter School
recipient of this grant.
Young Scholars is family-centered,
offering families many opportunities to participate fully in their
child's education. We create an environment that fosters the
development of the whole child. Children develop in the areas of trust,
self-confidence, curiosity, sensory-motor skills, social-emotional
skills, initiative and persistence, language, problem-solving,
creativity and imagination, reasoning and critical thinking.
