Dedre' & Ella Jefferson Early Learning Center, an Alief ISD school, in Houston, Texas was designed by PBK.

It's leading the way with innovative Pre-K to prepare young learners for success in Kindergarten and beyond. Jefferson is organized by Neighborhoods (Discovery, Inquiry, & Voyages) and Houses (including Space City, Gulf Coast, & Going Places) instead of wings and classrooms.

The school was built by Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, with engineering by Salas O'Brien and landscaping by TBG Partners. They partnered with The Nature Conservancy for the prairie restoration areas that surround the building.
