A New Day Early Childhood Education Programs

A New Day Child Development Center in Spicewood, TX, offers early childhood education programs for children ages 12 months to 6 years. We provide a nurturing, engaging environment where your child can grow, learn, and thrive through play-based and hands-on learning experiences.

Our classrooms are designed to spark curiosity and creativity. From arts and crafts to large motor activities, social-emotional learning, and foundational academic skills, each child is supported at their own pace to build confidence and a love for learning.

Our programs are designed to:

Inspire a lifelong love of learning
Teach socialization, cooperation, and teamwork
Build confidence, independence, and self-esteem
Encourage patience, focus, and persistence
Celebrate diversity and promote respect for others
Provide hands-on, meaningful experiences every day

At A New Day, we believe early childhood should be full of joy, discovery, and the support children need to shine—now and in the years ahead.

12 Months to 2-Year-Old Toddler Learners: Growing Curiosity, Confidence & Independence

At A New Day Child Development Center, our Toddler Program provides a nurturing, structured environment where children ages 12 months to 2 years grow through intentional teaching and purposeful play.

Guided by the Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum for Infants & Toddlers, we focus on whole-child development, supporting social-emotional growth, language development, physical coordination, and early cognitive skills.

Toddlers learn best through exploration and meaningful relationships. Our classrooms are designed with clearly defined learning areas that encourage safe discovery, movement, and hands-on engagement. Daily experiences include sensory exploration, music and movement, early literacy activities, art exploration, dramatic play, and outdoor play.

Through small-group and guided activities, children begin developing:

• Early communication and expanding vocabulary
• Social interaction and early friendship skills
• Gross motor development (walking, climbing, balancing)
• Fine motor skills (stacking, grasping, self-feeding)
• Early problem-solving and cause-and-effect understanding
• Introduction to shapes, colors, numbers, and letters in developmentally appropriate ways

Teachers provide gentle guidance and consistent routines to help toddlers build independence and confidence. Whether climbing on the playscape, exploring sensory materials, stacking blocks, or singing songs together, children are learning every moment of the day.

Our goal during these important early years is to nurture curiosity while building the foundational skills that prepare children for continued growth in our Two-Year-Old classroom and beyond.

At A New Day, learning begins with trust, exploration, and joyful discovery.

3 Year Olds Ready, Set, Go!

Our Three-Year-Old classroom is full of curious, energetic, and imaginative learners! At A New Day Child Development Center, we intentionally channel that energy into meaningful, structured learning experiences guided by the Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum.

Our classroom environment includes clearly defined learning centers such as literacy, math, science exploration, sensory play, creative arts, dramatic play, music and movement, and daily outdoor activities. Each area is designed to promote hands-on discovery, independence, and purposeful learning.

Through developmentally appropriate instruction, children begin strengthening early literacy skills, including letter recognition, phonological awareness, and sound identification. Learning is supported through interactive lessons, engaging stories, music, and small-group activities that make concepts meaningful and enjoyable.

In addition to academic growth, we place strong emphasis on social-emotional development. During this important stage, children build friendships, practice cooperation, strengthen problem-solving skills, and learn to follow structured classroom routines. Teachers guide children in developing independence, responsibility, and confidence.

Our goal in the Three-Year-Old classroom is to nurture creativity while intentionally building the foundational skills that prepare children for Pre-K and beyond. Through purposeful play, guided instruction, and meaningful relationships, children grow socially, emotionally, and academically in a supportive and structured environment.

Pre-K 4–5 Year Old Skill Builders, Strong Foundations to be Kindergarten Ready

Our Two-Year Progressive Kindergarten Readiness Program

Our Pre-K Skill Builders program at A New Day Child Development Center is intentionally designed as a two-year progression to fully prepare children for Kindergarten. Guided by the Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum for Preschool and aligned with Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines and Texas Rising Star 4-Star standards, our program blends structured instruction, purposeful play, and hands-on exploration.

Each year builds upon the last skills are strengthened and expanded, never repeated.

First Year:
Children develop strong foundations in early literacy, math readiness, fine motor skills, structured learning habits, and social-emotional growth.

Second Year:
Academic expectations increase in a developmentally appropriate way, deepening phonics, writing, mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, independence, and leadership skills to ensure full Kindergarten readiness.

Even when children remain in the same classroom environment, instruction advances through developmental milestones. Confidence, responsibility, collaboration, and problem-solving grow alongside academic skills.

Through intentional teaching, ongoing assessment, and meaningful learning experiences, our goal is for every child to leave Pre-K confident, capable, and fully prepared for success in Kindergarten and beyond.
