Mission

rotating imageThe mission of the KinderFrogs School is to provide an excellent, developmentally appropriate education to preschool children with Down syndrome and other developmental delays. The faculty and staff work collaboratively with families to prepare children for successful inclusion in public and private schools. It serves as an on-campus training site for TCU students in the College of Education and other university departments. The TCU students are an active and vital part of the KinderFrogs School as observers, practice teachers, classroom aides and beginning educational researchers. TCU professors are also available to offer their expertise and knowledge.

 

The School is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Currently, only 8% of early childhood education programs in the United States hold this accreditation.
