The program

What we’re planning to build

Three classrooms, one shared philosophy: children ages 6 months to 5 years learning together in El Paso, TX (79901) — with an inclusive model built around children with Down syndrome alongside typically developing peers.

Age groups

Planned groupings by age — exact class sizes and staffing ratios haven’t been finalized and will be shared once set.

Infant classroom

6–17 months

Responsive, one-on-one-heavy care built around each baby's own rhythm for feeding, sleep, and play.

Toddler classroom

18–35 months

Hands-on exploration, early language, and lots of side-by-side play as toddlers start noticing each other.

Preschool classroom

3–5 years

Structured learning centers, group projects, and pre-kindergarten readiness in a mixed-ability classroom.

The inclusive model

Our founding intent is to build classrooms where children with Down syndrome and typically developing children learn side by side — the same circle time, the same centers, the same outdoor play — rather than in separate programs under one roof.

We believe young children absorb belonging before they absorb almost anything else. This is a design intent we’re planning around, not a claim about specific outcomes — every child and classroom is different.

Nonprofit, tuition-based

What nonprofit means for tuition

Tuition dollars are intended to stay in the classroom — covering staffing, materials, and inclusive support — rather than flowing to outside owners or shareholders.

What’s still being finalized

Specific tuition amounts, financial assistance details, and an opening or enrollment date haven’t been set. We’ll share them here — and with everyone who’s expressed interest — as soon as they are.
