How do I get started with enrollment?

Start by visiting our Enrollment page and completing our care request form. You can check current availability, request a tour, or choose both. Once we receive your request, a member of our team will follow up with availability and next steps.

What are your operating hours?

Our regular business hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM–5:30 PM. During the summer, our hours are 7:30 AM–5:30 PM.

Families will be notified in advance of holiday closures, early closings, or other schedule changes.

Do you provide meals for the children?

Yes! Meals and snacks are provided as part of our daily program. Lil' Tiger's Playhouse participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and provides nutritious meals and snacks for children in our care.

🍳 Breakfast: 7:00–8:00 AM
🥪 Lunch: 11:00 AM–12:00 PM
🍎 Afternoon Snack: 2:00–2:30 PM

Monthly menus are shared with families so you can see what's being served.

What age range do you cater to?

Lil' Tiger's Playhouse provides care for children from 6 weeks through 10 years old. Our programs are designed around each stage of development:

👶 Infants: 6 weeks–12 months
🧸 Toddlers: 13–23 months
🎨 Preschool: 2–3 years
📚 Pre-K: 3–4 years
🎒 After School: Ages 4–10
☀️ Summer Care: School-age children

Do you have a curriculum or daily schedule?

Yes! Each classroom follows an age-appropriate daily schedule that provides children with a balance of learning, play, meals, rest, and movement throughout the day.

Our teachers plan engaging, hands-on learning experiences that support children's development while still allowing plenty of opportunities to explore, create, play, and build relationships.

Daily schedules and activities vary by age group so they can meet the developmental needs of the children in each classroom.

 

Do you administer medication? What is the process?

Yes. Lil' Tiger's Playhouse can administer medication when needed. All medication must be provided in its original container, and a Medication Authorization Form must be completed and signed before our directors can administer it.

Please speak with a member of our team when bringing medication to the center so we can make sure all required information is complete.

How do you communicate with parents?

We use Brightwheel to help families stay connected throughout their child's day. Families can receive daily updates and communicate directly with our team through the app.

Brightwheel helps us keep important information and communication in one convenient place, so families can stay connected even while they're away from their child.

Do you help with potty training?

Yes! We partner with families during the toilet-training process when a child shows signs of readiness. Children should be able to communicate when they need to use the bathroom, have fewer than three accidents per day, and pull their pants and underwear up and down with little to no assistance.

During this transition, families should provide 3–4 complete changes of clothing and underwear to keep at the center.

Children must be toilet trained before transitioning into our next classroom after age 3. Our team will work with families throughout the process to help make the transition as positive and consistent as possible.

What security measures are taken?

The safety and security of the children in our care is a priority at Lil' Tiger's Playhouse. Our front entrance remains securely locked, and all visitors must ring the doorbell and be greeted before entering the center.

Our classrooms are also equipped with cameras to provide an additional layer of safety and oversight.

We maintain an open-door policy for parents and guardians, so families are welcome to visit and speak with a Director when available. Meetings can also be scheduled to discuss your child's care, routine, questions, or concerns.

Do you offer full-time, part-time, and drop-in care?

Yes! Lil' Tiger's Playhouse offers full-time, part-time, and drop-in care options to help meet the needs of different family schedules.

Enrollment options are based on current classroom availability, and drop-in care requires a minimum of 24 hours' notice and is subject to space being available.

Not sure which option is right for your family? Complete our care request form and we'll help you find the best fit.

How do I check current availability?

Availability can change based on your child's age, schedule, and the type of care needed. To check current availability, complete the care request form on our Enrollment page and tell us a little about what your family is looking for.

A member of our team will follow up with current availability and help you with the next step. Visit our Enrollment page to get started!

Do you accept CCS?

Yes! Lil' Tiger's Playhouse accepts families receiving Child Care Services (CCS) assistance.

Availability for CCS enrollment depends on current classroom openings and your child's age and care needs. Families can contact us or complete our care request form to check current availability.

If you're currently receiving CCS assistance or are in the process of applying, let us know when you contact us so we can help with the next steps.

What is Texas Rising Star?

Lil' Tiger's Playhouse is proud to be a 4-Star Texas Rising Star quality-rated childcare center.

Texas Rising Star recognizes childcare programs that meet quality standards above minimum licensing requirements in areas that support children's learning, development, and overall care.

Our 4-Star designation reflects our ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality early learning environment for the children and families we serve.

Can I schedule a tour before enrolling?

Absolutely! We encourage families to schedule a tour before enrolling. A tour gives you the opportunity to visit Lil' Tiger's Playhouse, see our environment, meet members of our team, ask questions, and decide whether we're the right fit for your family.

To request a tour, visit our Enrollment page and select “Schedule a Tour” or “Both — Check Availability & Schedule a Tour” on the care request form.

What should my child bring each day?

What your child needs will vary depending on their age and classroom. Each family receives a supply list with the items their child will need for their specific program.

We recommend labeling all personal belongings with your child's name. Our team will also let you know if supplies need to be replenished or if your child needs anything additional.

What happens if my child is sick?

If your child becomes ill while at Lil' Tiger's Playhouse, we will contact a parent or guardian and ask that the child be picked up within 30 minutes. If we're unable to reach a parent or guardian, we'll contact an emergency contact listed in the child's file.

Children with a fever over 100°F must remain home and be fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication before returning. Children should also remain home when they are unable to comfortably participate in normal daily activities.

Additional exclusion and return-to-care requirements may apply for communicable illnesses. Families should refer to our Parent Handbook or speak with a Director for guidance regarding their child's specific situation.

Are you closed for holidays or other scheduled days?

Yes. Lil' Tiger's Playhouse observes scheduled holidays and occasional center closures throughout the year. Families are provided with advance notice of planned closures, early closing days, and other schedule changes.

Our current calendar and important dates are shared with enrolled families so they can plan ahead.

What happens if my child will be absent?

If your child will be absent, please let us know by sending us a message through Brightwheel or giving the center a call.

Tuition is based on your child's enrolled schedule rather than attendance, so tuition remains due when your child is absent. Full-time families receive 10 sick/vacation days after 90 days of enrollment, which must be requested in writing and submitted to a Director.

Please keep in communication with us during extended absences. Families should refer to the Parent Handbook or speak with a Director for complete attendance and absence policies.

How and when is tuition paid?

Tuition is due each Wednesday for the current calendar week. Payments must be received by 5:30 PM on Wednesday to avoid a $30 late fee.

Families may conveniently pay tuition through Brightwheel or make a payment in person at the office.

If you have questions about your account or tuition payment, please speak with a Director.
