DAVID S CROCKETT EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

DAVID S CROCKETT EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the ENNIS ISD school district, located in ENNIS, TX with about 417 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 29 teachers, DAVID S CROCKETT EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The David S. Crockett Early Childhood Center, located in Ennis, Texas, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Ennis Independent School District. As an early childhood center, its primary mission is to provide a strong developmental and academic foundation for the district’s youngest learners, typically focusing on Pre-Kindergarten and early childhood education programs. The school is designed to foster early literacy, social-emotional development, and foundational cognitive skills in a nurturing environment tailored specifically to the needs of young children before they transition to elementary school.

Operating under the Ennis ISD umbrella, the center emphasizes school readiness and community involvement to ensure students are prepared for the rigors of primary education. By providing a dedicated space for early learning, the school aims to support families and set a positive trajectory for student success early in their academic journeys. For parents and community members, the facility serves as a critical entry point into the district's broader educational system, offering resources and programs structured to help children build confidence and essential learning habits.
