What curriculum does Grace Learning Tree use?

Is Frog Street a good preschool curriculum?

Frog Street is a widely used, research-based early-education curriculum aligned to Texas early-learning standards and used in strong programs nationwide. Grace teaches it individually, in a faith-based setting.

Does Frog Street prepare children for kindergarten?

Yes. Its scope — early literacy, number sense, and social-emotional skills — maps to what kindergarten teachers look for. At Grace, it is tied specifically to Aledo ISD readiness.

At Grace Learning Tree, 9875 E Bankhead Hwy, Aledo, TX — serving Aledo, Willow Park, Hudson Oaks, Annetta, and Weatherford families.

How is Grace different from a Montessori school?

Both approaches are well-regarded. Montessori is child-led and self-directed, with mixed-age classrooms and specialized hands-on materials. Grace teaches the Frog Street whole-child curriculum in a faith-based setting, with age-grouped classrooms and specific Aledo ISD kindergarten preparation. Different philosophies, different classroom feels — both can produce excellent outcomes. Tour both if you're comparing.

A curriculum you can look up

Some schools describe a “proprietary curriculum” — a program you can’t find, can’t research, and have to take on faith. We went the other way. Grace teaches Frog Street, a published, research-based curriculum with named authors and a public track record. And in our Pre-K, we teach Frog Street Pre-K, which was approved by the Texas Education Agency and built to meet 100% of the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines — and which, per the state’s Texas Resource Review, earned perfect scores across all eleven categories. That’s the same standard Aledo ISD kindergartens are built around. You don’t have to take our word for any of it — you can look it up: see the Texas Education Agency’s official review of Frog Street Pre-K →

As children reach our preschool years, we add Handwriting Without Tears, a nationally used, developmentally sequenced handwriting program, and their first Spanish numbers and colors.

What is the Frog Street curriculum?

Frog Street is a comprehensive early-childhood curriculum built around the whole child — not just letters and numbers, but the full picture of how young children grow:

Language & literacy — vocabulary, listening, early reading foundations.
Math & reasoning — number sense, patterns, problem-solving.
Social-emotional development — self-regulation, friendship, confidence (Frog Street integrates Conscious Discipline® for this).
Physical & motor — fine and gross motor skills.
Creative expression — art, music, and imaginative play.

It's research-based, organized into clear daily and weekly plans, and aligned to Texas early-learning standards — the same framework used in strong early-education programs nationwide.

How Grace teaches it — "the Grace way"

We chose Frog Street because it matches what we believe early education should do: build the whole child through joy and intention, not drill-and-worksheet. At Grace that means:

Taught individually — warm, relationship-first, meeting each child where they are.
Woven into a faith-based day and real play — Soccer Shots, music, art, outdoor learning.
Tied directly to Aledo ISD kindergarten readiness, informed by founder Dawn Wright's years on the Aledo Education Foundation Board.
Delivered by named teachers who stay — consistency is what makes a curriculum actually take root.
