On October 26, Golden Root Academy & Respite Center welcomed its first students to a brand‑new facility at 18003 Lago Forest Drive in Humble, Texas. The center, which is locally owned and operated by a team of women, provides a range of early‑education and child‑care options for families in the community.
Comprehensive care for young families
Golden Root serves children from as young as six weeks up to 12 years old. Parents can choose from full‑time or part‑time preschool programs, as well as before‑ and after‑school care for school‑age children. The center’s curriculum emphasizes high‑quality instruction, social‑emotional development, and individualized attention, aiming to meet the needs of children of all abilities.
Local ownership and a family‑focused mission
Assistant Director Janice Hernandez highlighted the center’s commitment to the Humble community in an email sent on Oct. 15. “Golden Root is a locally owned and operated, women‑owned child‑care center right here in Humble, and we’re so proud to be opening our doors to local families,” Hernandez said. “We believe this will make a real impact on our community by offering high‑quality, caring early education and child care for children of all abilities.”
Supporting parents and the local economy
By providing reliable, affordable child‑care options, Golden Root helps parents stay in the workforce and pursue educational goals, reinforcing the traditional family structure that underpins a strong neighborhood. The center also creates jobs for local educators, administrators, and support staff, contributing to Humble’s growing economy.
Location and accessibility
The facility’s location on Lago Forest Drive places it within easy reach of many residential neighborhoods in Humble. Ample parking and drop‑off zones make daily routines smoother for busy families. The center’s opening aligns with a broader trend of new family‑focused businesses emerging in the area, reflecting both demand for quality child‑care and confidence in the local market.
Looking ahead
Golden Root Academy & Respite Center plans to expand its programming based on community feedback, potentially adding enrichment classes, summer camps, and specialized support services. The center invites families to tour the campus and learn more about enrollment options by visiting its Facebook page or contacting the office directly.
With its focus on nurturing young minds and supporting families, Golden Root represents a positive step forward for Humble’s educational landscape and its commitment to strong, faith‑centered communities.
