Discover Early Childcare Center of Harlingen
At Early Childcare Center of Harlingen, we are more than just a daycare—we are a community where children are nurtured, inspired, and encouraged to grow into confident learners. Located at 104 W Taylor Ave in Harlingen, TX, we proudly welcome children from infants as young as 6 weeks through age 13, supporting families with programs that evolve as their children grow.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the difference. Our classrooms are filled with laughter, curiosity, and the energy of children learning through play. Every corner of our center is designed with purpose—whether it’s our bright and engaging infant rooms, our active toddler spaces, or our pre-kindergarten classrooms preparing children for a smooth transition into school.
We believe that every child deserves equal opportunity to learn, explore, and thrive. That belief is at the heart of everything we do.
Who We Are
Early Childcare Center of Harlingen was founded by Christian Muraira, a proud advocate for early learning who wanted to create a center that blends the structure of curriculum with the warmth of family care.
Our center is led by Director Sandra Juarez, who brings over 22 years of experience in early childhood education, and supported by passionate educators like Ana Camacho, Pre-K Lead Teacher, who inspires children every day with creativity and care.
Together, our team represents decades of combined experience in nurturing children from infancy through school-age. Many of our teachers and staff members have grown with our center, building strong bonds with families that last long after children graduate from our programs.
Our Principles
Our guiding philosophy is simple: to ensure that all children receive the same opportunity for development and are supported in growing as a whole person.
This means we nurture not only the academic side of learning, but also the social, emotional, and creative aspects of development. We recognize that children are naturally curious, and we see our role as guiding them with patience, encouragement, and joy.
By blending structured learning with play, and creating a home-away-from-home atmosphere, we empower children to explore with confidence while feeling safe and supported.
