Curious Minds School & ECE

🌱 Curious Minds School & ECE

At Curious Minds, we believe children learn best when they’re inspired — not just instructed.

We are a learner-led, project-based school and early childhood education center in Wichita Falls, serving children from 6 weeks old through 9th grade. Our mission is to create a space where curiosity drives learning, creativity is celebrated, and each child’s unique path is honored.

We provide a whole-child approach to education, integrating academic, social, emotional, and creative development through hands-on projects, real-world experiences, and personalized guidance.

Why We’re Different

Our learning environment looks and feels different... on purpose.

We’ve designed our school to:

• Foster critical thinking through real-world challenges

• Emphasize creativity, collaboration, and confidence-building

• Create meaningful, respectful relationships between learners and facilitators

• Adapt to each child’s pace and interests while holding high expectations

Whether it’s building a miniature business during entrepreneurship week, experimenting in science lab, performing on stage in our theater elective, or discovering the joy of reading, our students are active participants in their learning journey.

Where Donations Go

Your support during Texoma Gives helps us grow, sustain, and expand our mission in meaningful ways:

🎓 Scholarship Fund ($13,000)

Your gift makes our learner-led education accessible to more families. Just $6,500 covers a full year of tuition for one child, and this fund allows us to offer two full scholarships to families in need.

🛝 Outdoor Playscape ($47,000)

We dream of transforming our empty playground into an enriching, age-appropriate outdoor space for all children, from infants to middle schoolers. This includes equipment, surfacing, shade, and safe space for movement, creativity, and connection.

🧠 Classroom Innovation Fund ($7,500)

This fund brings project-based learning to life through STEM kits, art materials, flexible seating, and sensory tools — giving our students the tools to explore, build, and create.

🎭 Enrichment Expansion ($4,500)

Supports music & movement programs, cooking, theater, guest instructors, and more — experiences that go beyond the basics and help students uncover new passions.

Why It Matters

Education doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all. Curious Minds offers an alternative... one that works. But we can’t do it alone.

When you give to Curious Minds, you’re doing more than helping a school, you’re investing in a generation of confident, compassionate, curious young people who will shape the future of our community.

Thank You for Believing in Us

Every dollar helps us build something extraordinary right here in Wichita Falls. Whether you give $5 or $500, your gift matters. Together, we can keep curiosity alive — and turn it into confidence, one learner at a time.
