Curriculum and Philosophies
The building block of The Woodlands Young Learner’s Academy curriculum and core philosophy is to drive each student individually based on their skill and learning levels, rather than by age.

“Expanding Today’s Young Minds ~ One Child at a Time™”

Our curriculum is uniquely designed to facilitate each student's higher-level thinking skills to his or her fullest potential by incorporating Gifted and Talented theories and instruction techniques.

Safety and Facilities
Safety is a top priority at The Woodlands Young Learner’s Academy.  To ensure the safety of our students, TWYLA’s state-of-the-art facility is designed to provide maximum enjoyment in a safe environment, while offering an additional piece of mind for TWYLA parents.

Building Security
Security begins when entering the lobby.  To gain access to the building, each family is issued a dedicated code, ensuring that only authorized people enter the building.  Located in the lobby is TWYLA’s Monitor Wall.  The monitor wall is equipped with color monitors providing TWYLA’s management team convenient visual access to each classroom without disturbing any classroom instruction.  It also allows parents to drop-in, “peek” in on their child, and observe their learning environment.  During TWYLA’s hours of operations, the lobby area is constantly manned with a dedicated staff member.

Furniture and Equipment Safety
To provide the highest quality and safest outdoor fun, TWYLA’s Tadpole Parks & Lagoon Splash Adventure™ is furnished with Little Tikes®, a leader in children’s playground equipment, and Water Odyssey™, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of aquatic playground equipment.

Classrooms and Lobby
The Woodlands Young Learner's Academy specifically engineered each classroom for your Young Learner's enthusiastic pursuit of discovery in mind. As an extension of The Woodlands Young Learner's Academy philosophy of preparing each child for their future academic careers, our "Little Learner's" through our Kinder 1st™ Program will transition to their specialty classrooms and different teachers throughout the day offering each student a variety of experiences, and further preparing our students for their next level of education.

An assortment of themed-based educational and instructional activities and software are available in each classroom to both challenge and enhance young inquisitive minds.
