OUR MISSION
We are a Christian based school that focuses on the personal development of each child. Our objective is to teach responsibility, respect, build new childhood experiences, and promote a foundation that starts your child's educational future, though play, movement, music, stories, and interactions with other children and adults.
Our Philosophy of child development allows each child to plan what they want to accomplish (Goal Setting), accomplish what they have planned (Meeting the Goal), and recall what they have actually accomplished (Reflection/Evaluation). Children learn through play and exploration how goal setting affects their lives and that they can be in charge of many of the choices in life on the way to fulfilling their short-term and long-term goals. Please review our records with DPFS.

The Firehouse Day School is a family own and operated Child Care Center. Randy and Kalyn Horn have owned The Firehouse Day School since 2007, however daycare has been a family choice of occupation since 1987.
Daycare life has been in our lives since Randy's mom and dad owned and operated a school in Lancaster for 12 years. Their kind touch and open hearts to the community taught us so much. When the time was right we wanted to have the same opportunity.
Randy was a Fireman for Dallas Fire Department and retired after 25 loyal years. Helping people is a talent that he was blessed with. Kalyn was an engineer with AT&T for 32 years. We decided on our name because we wanted something unique to give respect where it is due for all those Ladies and Gentleman that protect and serve us everyday in the community.
We were very excited when a opportunity came our way to remodel and run our own school. We opened the door April 16, 2007 with 20 kids enrolled and we are still growing everyday. New families join our family and we are privileged to get to teach and guide their children.

Jennifer has been working in childcare now for 22 years. She graduated in May 2013 with her Bachelors Degree in Education (BSIS) from Texas A&M-Commerce. She started Firehouse with her parents in April 2007. The reason we opened the Firehouse is because of my son, Triston in our 2's classroom. Over the years many great memories where made with the children she and her staff has cared for. Every child has gained a special piece of her heart. When Ms. Jennifer is out in the public she sees children that she has taught and how they have grown up. There is nothing better than taking a school and having good values taught to our children everyday. All children are treated equally and as if all 60 kids were hers too. We give the children a safe environment to learn in and have fun.
Jennifer is currently the Pre-K teacher and oversees the office activities. She prepares 4-5 year olds for kindergarten. She also works for RCISD in the afternoons. She closes the school out till 630pm at least once a week, for any concerns or conferences needed. |
