Hi, C.. I am not sure where River Oaks is but I teach at a Christian mothers day out in Grand Prairie called TLC. I teach in one of two PreK classes and we are very structured. We have a schedule with very little downtime. Chapel and Sign language are the first thing our class does. We then go to acedemics - wall work and calendar. We have craft time, story time, Bible verse time, etc. Each day is devoted to themes. Our teachers dress up to whatever theme we are having and then decorate our rooms so the kiddos can have "visuals". The kids are also encouraged to dress to the theme of the day. An example would be "harold and the purple crayon", everything is decorated in purple, we may dress up as a purple crayon, Harold, or wear everything purple, and then in experiencing the book, we do activities such as mixing colors with shaving creme together to get the color purple, the kids can write their names in purple sand, etc. We also have time for centers and playground. I have been there for 10 years and my partner for 11. Our shcol is having their 25th birthday and it is the same two directors who started our program.
Good luck in finding a prek that will meet your needs.
