The Alief (Texas) district's Jefferson Early Learning Center campus in Houston is organized into two villages that provide students with a sense of community and place. Following the theme of connecting children to nature and a sense of place, each village has unique outdoor learning environments; a centralized courtyard and two outdoor exploration courtyards. The villages surround a central building spine that shares administrative spaces, instructional support, and shared core enrichment spaces like indoor play, art, and music.
