Discoverers Program
Junior • 6 Weeks–11 Months-Old | Senior • 12–17 Months-Old
Welcome to the Discoverers Program at North Star Academy, where the journey of exploration and learning begins for our youngest students. This program is designed to meet the developmental needs of children aged 6 weeks to 17 months, fostering a nurturing environment that encourages curiosity and growth, grounded in Christian values.
Our Approach
At North Star Academy, we believe that every child is a natural-born explorer. Our Discoverers Program supports and guides our young students as they embark on their educational adventure.
We employ a holistic approach that integrates the renowned Frog Street curriculum, providing a rich, diverse learning experience in our childcare and preschool settings. We are proud to be Texas Rising Star (TRS) and Nature Explore certified, reflecting our commitment to high-quality early childhood education.
Frog Street Curriculum
The Frog Street curriculum is at the heart of our Discoverers Program, offering research-based, age-appropriate activities that stimulate cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language
development. Interactive play promotes problem-solving and critical thinking. Songs, rhymes, and stories enhance early literacy and communication skills. Sensory exploration and hands-on
experiences help children understand the world through touch, sight, sound, and movement. Activities designed to improve both fine and gross motor skills support overall physical development.
Christian Integration
Our Discoverers Program is infused with Christian values, teaching children through daily interactions and activities. Chapel days offer a special time for our young students to participate in simple, age-appropriate worship and learn basic biblical principles.

Nature Explore and Mud Days
As a certified Nature Explore site, our program introduces babies to the wonders of the natural world in safe, age-appropriate ways. Our outdoor experiences provide a nurturing environment where infants can explore nature through sensory activities and gentle, guided play. Special mud days offer unique opportunities for sensory exploration, where children can safely engage with
natural elements. These experiences lay the groundwork for a lifelong appreciation of the outdoors, preparing children for more structured nature activities as they grow.
