School Agers
The school age program stimulates the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual areas of development. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of individual differences in ability and interest. The teacher facilitates the development of self-control by using positive guidance techniques such as modeling, redirecting, setting clear limits, and rewarding acceptable behavior.
We offer before school drop off to Moore Public Schools and Newcastle Public Schools and after school pick up to Mustang Public Schools. This may seem strange, but this meets the needs of our families here at TLP. We do not have the staffing to have School Age children here during the school year, but you are welcome to sign them up for our exciting Summer Program!

Abby C., Floater
Abby has a Bachelor's Degree in General Studies from UCO. She grew up at The Launching Pad and has been here as a teacher for over 7 years. Abby has been married for 3 years, has two beautiful little boys, and a hyper Aussie named Kodo. She loves reading, crocheting, and spending time outside with her family.
"I love the chance I get as a floater to be in each classroom and form a relationship with each child that walks through the door. Every single one of them is unique and special to me. I don't take lightly the opportunity I get to make an impact in the lives of these children."
