PALS

Who We Are

PALS (Play and Learn School) at Paramount Baptist Church is a 3 day a week Preschool & Pre-K for 3 and 4-year-olds that is licensed by the state of Texas. The PALS program was developed to provide biblically based, age-appropriate education that allows children to experience God’s love and to show His love to others in a safe, caring environment. We seek to meet the needs of the whole child so that he/she may develop spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, physically, and mentally. With its caring teachers, small class ratios and “hands-on” activities including STEM classes for 4-year-olds and music classes for all children PALS is a great option for your child.

Age Requirements

Children must be 3 or 4-years-old by September 1st of the current year to be eligible for the PALS preschool and pre-k classes. These classes are structured based on your child’s age.

Classes

The class format is based on an activity-teaching method that gives children learning opportunities, skills practice, and healthy social interaction. Classrooms are arranged in learning centers where children can make choices for individual and small group activities. These centers include art, blocks, books, puzzles, home-living, music, and nature. Bible stories and values are interwoven throughout each unit. Love and the appreciation for God and His creation are emphasized through appropriate educational and fun activities. The PALS program also includes STEM classes for 4-year-olds and music classes for all children.
