Company History and Overview
The Innovative Foundation Child Development Center, born in 2015 in McAllen, was established by a couple who wanted to serve families while spending time with their own children. Having fulfilled their goal and with their children now grown up, the founding couple decided to move on. In 2019, the original center went through an acquisition and dropped the word “Foundation” from its name— so the new Innovative Child Development Center was born. The new leadership, with a big dream, sought to make Innovative become one of the area’s most recognized centers. As we were one of the newest centers in the area, one thing was clear: we were set up to be something more than just a place that babysits children. In 2021, for the first time in the company’s history, Innovative opened the doors to a second location in Mission. We achieved this level of success by differentiating ourselves from the rest and setting the following priorities:
-
It is all about children and families.
Everything we do is for them and about them. When considering any changes, if something does not positively impact the children, we do not move forward with it. We treat children as if they were our own here.
-
We value and respect our staff.
Without our staff, we are nothing. We recognize that our staff is the life of Innovative. We foster an environment where people are allowed to grow and make mistakes. We are all here for each other, and we stick together. This results in an environment where people LOVE to come to work, which in turn creates amazing teachers that genuinely love what they do.
-
We prioritize children over profits.
Other centers view cutting costs such as reducing food quality or offering lower wages as the way to turn a profit, but at Innovative, it is quite the opposite. We do not see profits as a priority. Instead, profits are a result of doing an amazing job.
Our Mission Statement
We recognize that there is no better place for children than in their parents’ hands. However, at Innovative, we strive to be the next best thing. That is why we strive to emulate familial guidance and love for all the children who enroll in our learning programs.
Our Vision Statement
We envision a promising future for all our graduates at Innovative. Our dedicated faculty believes that we can achieve this aspiration by consistently delivering high-standard early childhood education, along with constant collaborations with parents.
