Our Story
​
Armenta's Early Childhood Development is more than just a daycare center – it is a reflection of our deep-rooted spiritual and family values. Our journey began with Ms. Anna's Home Child Care, a cherished home-based establishment founded in 1991 and licensed for a decade by the Texas Department of Child Care Licensing. Guided by unwavering principles, we have grown from our humble beginnings to serve the Southbelt Houston community as Armenta's ECD at our early childhood center. Our expansion is a testament to the trust placed in us by families and the community.
We are proud to continue our legacy of warmth and care, embracing everyone with the same philosophy that led to the creation of Ms. Anna's Home Child Care – "Mi casa es su casa", that is, "My home is your home."

Activities
To maximize your child's progress in our program, we adhere to a daily schedule of routines that span the day. Recognizing the significance of structure and consistency in a child's early development, we facilitate growth across four crucial areas: PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, and COGNITIVE (Intellectual/ language skills).​

Curriculum
At AECD, we are proud to offer a school-ready curriculum that begins in September and concludes in June, thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s individual potential. Our curriculum is provided by the esteemed Children's Learning Institute and follows the rigorous standards established by Texas School Ready (TSR).
​
This engaging, play-based approach sparks a love for learning by tapping into children’s natural curiosity—encouraging exploration through sight, sound, touch, and movement. We will provide hands-on activities and developmentally appropriate instruction to build foundational skills in Literacy, Math, Science, Music, Art, and Social-Emotional Development.
​
We are committed to meeting children where they are, and recognize that every child learns in their own way. Our experienced educators are trained to adapt teaching strategies to fit diverse learning styles. The result is a meaningful, personalized learning experience that empowers each child to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.
​
As your child progresses through our program, you’ll witness remarkable growth—not just in knowledge, but in confidence and curiosity. With time, patience, and collaboration between home and school, you'll see your child’s intellectual development soar. It's truly a rewarding journey!
We believe that knowledge fosters confidence, and strive to create a safe, nurturing environment with consistent boundaries designed to support healthy development. Every child is valued as a unique individual, and we are dedicated to preparing them for a seamless transition into a school-age education setting.
We invite you to join the AECD family, where your child’s growth, joy, and success are our top priorities.​​
