Holy Covenant Early Childhood Development Program is a church-based, play-based learning center at 1901 E Peters Colony Rd in Carrollton serving infants (18 months) through Kindergarten. Operated by the Holy Covenant United Methodist Church since 1978—over 45 years—the program is known for its small class sizes and low student-to-staff ratios, including a 12:1 Kindergarten ratio with aide support. The curriculum emphasizes child-centered play across purposeful learning centers, with ages grouped from Toddler through Pre-K 4 and private Kindergarten, complemented by enrichment classes, one-on-one reading instruction, and outdoor learning areas. Hands-on instruction, parent-teacher conferences, and strong staff engagement underscore a nurturing Christian environment built on the core principles of loving, empowering, and supporting each child. Limited online review volume reflects the program's more localized community presence.
