What does STEM look like at age 3?

It looks like stacking something higher just to see if it will fall. Mixing two things together and watching what happens. Building it one way, deciding it doesn’t work, and trying another. Asking “why?” followed immediately by another “why?” And probably followed by a few more "whys?"

At FPC Day School, STEM learning begins with the way young children already experience the world: through play, investigation, questions, and discovery.

Those everyday moments give children opportunities to practice problem-solving, collaboration, persistence, creativity, and flexible thinking. That’s why this North Texas Giving Day, we’re raising $40,000 to enrich our STEM curriculum and STEAM Lab.

Because sometimes a pretty big idea starts with a very small question.

Help us build what’s next.

Social skills come from modeling and practice. Simple scripts help children feel confident with peers.⁠ ⁠

Try this: Role-play a friendship phrase (a single sentence or expression used to make a friend, show kindness, or solve a problem with a peer). For example: "Do you want to sit together at lunch?" or "Are you okay?"⁠

This makes real-life conversations easier when trying them out in a safe space first. ⁠

Early Giving for North Texas Giving Day is officially open!

FPC Day School provides high-quality early education that nurtures the whole child, supporting intellectual development, physical growth, social skills, and spiritual well-being. Your gift helps sustain the joyful, hands-on learning experiences that give every child room to thrive.

Join us on North Texas Giving Day, September 17, for the 3rd Annual Culinary Kids Cook-Off from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. The family fun ends at 5:30 PM, but giving continues through the evening! From 3:30 to 5:30 PM, children will work alongside their parents in a live family cooking competition, with a teacher cook-off, children’s taste-test challenge, audience games, prizes, and more.

This year, you can give directly to the cause, or you can support one of our four Culinary Kids Cook-Off teams. Be sure to make your gift through the team page you would like to support so your donation counts toward that team’s total and helps move it closer to first place!

Help us reach our $40,000 North Texas Giving Day goal. Choose your team and make your gift today: fpcdayschool.org/ntxgd

Did you know childcare in Dallas County now costs nearly as much as in-state college tuition? Dallas Childcare Works is a plan created by the people and for the people to bring costs down, keep parents in the workforce, and end a crisis that costs our regional economy $4 billion every year.⁠

Urge the Dallas County Commissioners to place Dallas Childcare Works on the November ballot by signing our petition:⁠

Dallas Childcare Works could generate up to $132 million annually, creating a dedicated, sustainable funding source. This would:⁠
-Expand access to affordable care⁠
-Strengthen the workforce by supporting parent employment and stable childcare staffing⁠
-Increase the availability of high-quality early learning environments⁠
-Support long-term family economic mobility

Turns out running a day school isn't so hard when the dress code is pajamas, the hairstyle is ponytails, and popsicles are on the daily agenda.

Princess Principal Ms. Lessel kept the school running last Monday, making rounds to every classroom, answering the phones, and making sure everyone was following her new rules. We may have to invite her back!
