Program Director

Tylervich Tyler, Director of Texas Early Start, brings 13+ years of educational experience to this innovative preschool summer program. A Prairie View A&M University graduate with teaching certification, Tylervich earned recognition as Houston ISD's 2020 Teacher of the Year and served as Department Chair, where she mentored educators and led professional development initiatives.

With a teaching philosophy rooted in game-based learning, Tylervich believes children learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on discovery. "When learning feels like play, children are naturally curious and engaged," she explains. "That's why we use sport themes and STEM activities as the foundation for our program—kids are having so much fun, they don't even realize how much they're learning."

Combining classroom teaching experience with organizational leadership skills, Tylervich oversees all aspects of the Texas Early Start program, ensuring every child receives quality instruction in a safe, nurturing, and exciting environment.

📋 Important: About Our Sport-Themed Program

This is an educational STEM program, not a sports training camp. We use sport themes (golf, tennis, yard polo, soccer) as engaging hooks to teach science, literacy, and creativity concepts to preschoolers.

All activities are conducted indoors using foam noodles, soft foam balls, and age-appropriate safe equipment. Children learn concepts like angles, force, balance, and teamwork through modified, non-competitive games designed for ages 3-5.

Examples: Golf week teaches ramps and angles using foam balls and cardboard. Tennis week uses balloon tennis for bouncing concepts. Soccer week explores kicking angles with soft balls indoors. These are educational introductions to concepts, not actual sports instruction or outdoor athletic activities.
