Immanuel Lutheran School (ECE) 1440 Cortlandt Street, Houston, TX 77008

"Awarded best Lutheran Church and dayschool in The Heights."

"We have had one of our kids attending Immanuel since 2012 and we have loved it. The staff and teachers are great and communicate very well. I love that they have so many open spaces for the kids to play; I especially love that they take the children in their classes through age appropriate curriculum rather than letting them run amok the entire time."

"My son just graduated from their ECE program and my wife and I couldn't be happier with their excellent program and caring staff. We relocated a few times in the past several years before settling down in Houston, and none of the previous schools he attended made him as happy, involved, while learning so much at the same time (the list includes university affiliated preschools, Catholic preschools and Montessori schools). My son went from recognizing alphabets to reading short stories in just a few months, and he frequently expresses how he miss his teacher on weekends and couldn't wait to get back to school on Monday morning. They have a full sized gym where their sports activities are held three times a week (optional, with nominal fee), two large playgrounds, and their classrooms are dedicated to learning activities while recess and free play take place in the large open space right outside the classroom. We really like such an arrangement, since it allows the kids to focus and not bing interrupted by others, compared to "open classrooms". In short, we are so happy with Immanuel Lutheran School and would recommend it to anyone close to the heights and inner loop area in Houston, TX."
