MCP is licensed by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services and governed by Cognia during the Accreditation process.

Teacher Training
Every teacher is required to participate in training designed specifically for Early Childhood Educators each year. Our teachers strive to maintain the highest quality of standards. We conduct a complete criminal background check, including FBI fingerprinting, on all staff members. CPR and First Aid certification are required for all staff members.
Program License
The program is licensed by the Texas Department of Family Protective Services. Its purpose is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the social, emotional, spiritual, physical and cognitive development of young children. Developmentally appropriate activities are carefully planned and provide opportunities for self-expression, freedom of choice, self-reliance, and individuality.
