Parent Support
School Open Morning to Evening, Year-Round
INIC is open from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. We are open year-round, with the exception of holidays, teacher training, and other dates that are scheduled and communicated before the start of each school year.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-K classrooms hold parent-teacher conferences every fall and spring semester to help parents understand how their child is progressing. Teachers also offer suggestions on how parents can work with their child at home.
Classroom Cameras & Frequent Updates
Unlike most Preschool and Pre-K programs, INIC provides parents with daily updates and communications. Parents can check in on their students on easy-to-use livestreaming WatchMeGrow cameras and the Brightwheel parent-teacher communication app. Learn more about how we communicate with parents here.
Potty Training Support
While many Pk3 and Pk4 programs require students to be fully potty trained, INIC understands that children develop at their own rate. Potty training starts at home, but our teachers are here to help as children learn to use the bathroom independently.
PERSONAL ATTENTION
Excellent Teacher-to-Student Ratios
Preschool group ratio: 1:12 (TX Minimum Standards 1:15).
Pre-K group ratio 1:14 (TX Minimum Standards 1:18)
If a classroom exceeds our pre-set ratios, an assistant or co-teacher will be available during peak activity. We also have helpers on campus for additional support.
Lessons Tailored to Each Student’s Development
All children learn differently, which is why our teachers provide multiple ways to learn a concept (ex., visual and tactile aids, interactive lessons). We identify our students’ strengths and areas for improvement so that we can meet them at their level of development and help them grow.
Teachers provide one-on-one attention when kids need it.
Small Group Lessons for Peer-Led Learning
Children often have an easier time mastering skills when they can mirror each other. INIC classmates work together in small groups to accomplish a task or learn a concept. This teamwork also encourages empathy and good citizenship.
My Happy Place
Students feel safe at a small campus where they’re surrounded by kids of similar age and size, and everyone knows them. Classrooms and playgrounds are custom-made for each age group. Safe Places are availble for processing emotions.
WHOLE CHILD DEVELOPMENT
Social Emotional Readiness (Click to see our SEL program)
One of the most important aspects of preschool is helping children socialize and manage emotions. We teach social emotional learning (SEL) to show students how to resolve conflicts, empathize with others, and manage “big feelings.”
STEAM-Oriented Lessons
In addition to core curriculum in math, reading, and writing foundations, we also introduce students to science concepts and the natural world. We explore art and music through our “Creative Lab” program. Students use tools like building blocks, puzzles, props, toys, books, and sensory materials to promote creativity, problem-solving, and social skills. We don’t use screens at INIC.
Body Control, Coordination, Movement
Our gyms, playgrounds, and classrooms help students develop large and fine movement systems. They impact every part of the brain and body.
Large movement systems: coordination of arms, legs, and core (essential for active lifestyle)
Fine movement systems: coordination of fingers, toes, and eyes (impacts reading, writing, posture, more)
Purposeful Play Every Day (Click to learn more)
“Purposeful Play” comes in the form of structured group and individual play: exploration, sports, games, and imagination activities. INIC’s organize Purposeful Play is fun and crucial for a child’s social, emotional, and academic growth.
Language & cultural immersion
True Spanish Immersion with Diverse Teachers
Research shows that bilingual children have higher math, reading, emotional, and analytical skills. Learn more about the surprising benefits of bilingualism here.
INIC is true immersion - every class is in Spanish, every day, Teachers are either native or fluent Spanish speakers. Our diverse team brings a wealth of cultural experiences, helping students begin to appreciate global diversity.
Weekly Interactive Mandarin Chinese Lessons
INIC’s weekly classes in Mandarin Chinese provide an incredible next-level workout to a young child’s brain. Repeated exposure to a third language engages young learners, fosters cognitive flexibility, expands phonic awareness, and promotes problem-solving abilities.
Multicultural Celebrations, Lessons & Activities
INIC promotes inclusivity, diversity, and cultural curiosity. Through art, music, and traditional celebrations, students learn American and international cultures, including Thanksgiving, Black Heritage, Día de los Muertos, Chinese New Year, Children’s Day, and much, much more.
