  • “This place is a second home for my kids. Any day my little Jerry did not go to his daycare, turns out to be very upsetting to him. My 3 boys love coming here.”

    Princess
  • “I absolutely love this place. All of the teachers are amazing and extremely helpful. As a single mother, I am grateful that they were here to help when the help was needed.”

    Rachel
  • “They provide an exceptional care to our kiddos and don't discriminate. They are angels. They helped toilet train my child; my 4-year-old now reads up to 2nd-grade level. She writes 1–100, she writes A–Z. All neatly.”

  • “My son loves this place. We moved to Katy and I still drive back here to bring him here. He is very loved and cared for. I know that he is safe. He enjoys all of his teachers — and as a single mom that is appreciated.”

    Brittanica
  • “My son and I love Little Einstein's. Ms. Alia is very helpful and kind. She answered all the questions I had and gave me a tour before I enrolled my son. My son has learned so much and continues to thrive socially and academically.”

    Dominique
  • “My daughters attended Little Einstein's Learning Academy when they were younger and now the oldest is 25 and the youngest is 15. I recommend going to Little Einstein's with your little ones to get an early start with classroom environments and learning abilities.”

NCI / CCS subsidy

Quality careis more affordablethan you think.

LELA has accepted Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast subsidies (CCS, often called “NCI”) for years. Many working families in 77083 qualify and don’t even realize it.

  • 01
    Income up to ~85% of state median

    Many Beechnut and Alief families fall inside the line.

  • 02
    Working, in school, or in job training

    25 hrs/week single parent · 50 combined for two.

    We help you apply

    Same school, your child's spot — much less out of pocket.

The LELA difference

Four things you won’t findat the chain down the road.

  • 01

    Montessori-inspired, not brand-licensed

    We use Montessori principles — independence, focus, respect for the child — without the franchise overhead. Quality without the markup.

  • 02

    Owner-operated by Samina, since 2011

    Samina opened LELA in November 2011 and still runs it. Your child knows her, and she knows your child by name.

  • 03

    Tuition includes everything — really

    Breakfast, lunch, two snacks, diapers and wipes, all learning materials, field trips. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.

  • 04

    Transportation to and from school

    We drive kids to and from Alief ISD, Fort Bend ISD, HISD, KIPP, Harmony, ILTexas, and Houston Classical schools. After school, your child gets a snack, homework help, and an hour outside before pickup.
