About Us

A little about

Our History

After spending 5 years as a high school foreign language teacher, I changed my career path in 1983 and took over an early childhood program in Missouri City, The First Step Child Development Center. I had also recently acquired a new role as a mom. In 1985, construction began on a new facility, while having baby number two, and the doors of The Towne Creek School opened in May 1986. The building encompassed nine classrooms surrounding a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, a small library, and a large playground. A few years after the arrival of baby number three came an expansion in 1993. We added an extension to the library, five classrooms, an indoor gym, a large outdoor field, an infant-toddler play area, and a swimming pool.

After having some portable buildings for several years for our Afterschool and Kindergarten Programs, a third phase was constructed in 2019, adding a large activity area, 2 classrooms and a computer lab.

From Generation

To Generation

We’ve had thousands of children enjoy The Towne Creek experience. What greater tribute can there be than having former students return as employees due to their experience here as a child? Or for former students to choose Towne Creek for their own children? We are honored and greatly appreciate all of our second generation families!
Our Mission

Statement

To provide a warm, nurturing, supportive and academically challenging environment where children feel safe, secure, loved and respected; where they are given opportunities to develop to their fullest potential socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, while developing a positive self esteem and a lifelong love of learning; where parents and staff work together as a team to ensure that we provide an experience that goes beyond the expected, for the children, parents and staff of this program.

Vision Statement

Portrait of a Towne Creek Graduate

My goal has always been to provide the very best child development program possible, and to find the very best teaching and administrative staff to realize that goal. Our hope is that our Towne Creek graduates are equipped with the developmental skills that are promoted in our program; that they have a positive self-esteem, the confidence to try new things, and a passion for learning; that they understand the values of kindness, sharing, making friends, respect for others, being part of a community. All of these attributes help shape the character of the child, allowing him/her to grow into adulthood as a positive member of our society.
